The other day, Ruth turned 96 years old.
My mom sent a note saying:
"Best times to call her (if you want) are between 11 p.m. and MIDNIGHT."
I called her at 12.02, but she was still up. Gotta love the energy.
As we chatted, I did the quick math and confirmed. She was born before the US entered WW1.
I asked her about her first memory at age 4 or so and then asked her to compare that world with this one…she had a good natured reaction, but basically said "unbelievable."
Then, I told her that Nadia (age 3) comes home from school asking for the iPad ;-)
Such a blessing and a gift to have an eyewitness to so much history.
