This little plaque I found is dedicated to the eighty-somethings (my greatest examples) in my life: My bestie, Erm, whom I visit monthly; a forever friend named Letty; a couple, Clair and Marge, who have meant much to us over the years and are struggling but not complaining and are fortified with love for each other; a dear lady, Elaine, who takes the prize for endurance with an attitude of gratitude; my dad, the best example of positivity and deep faith of anyone I will ever know, my mom,who rises with grace each time she's flattened by another physical ailment; my parents' friends; and many aunts, uncles and grandparents both here and in heaven.
