Today is Aunt Vi’s 103rd birthday.
At age 95.
It’s her first up in heaven with all her sisters and most of her brothers, plus her mom and dad who she talked about regularly and missed every day.
96th birthday
I’ve heard about some of the parties the family had when they were all younger. I can almost imagine the fun they’re having up there today, dancing and hugging, playing cards and softball and telling stories while they enjoy a huge potluck.
On her 100th birthday.
I’m sure everyone there is glad to have her back in the fold, but we sort of miss her back here.
101st birthday.
Still, I know her 103rd birthday is infinitely better than her 102nd was.
102nd birthday.
Happy Birthday Aunt Vi, now you’re young again and will be forever.
The light shines on her now.
