Forever Young




Last weekend, some of us were blessed by spending time with my parents at the Cloisters at Sea Island in celebration of my mother's 90th birthday. As usual, my mother and father inspired us by their stories, energy, resilience, good humor, love, and curiosity. The birthday girl received cards and notes and gifts from family and friends, far and wide.

We presented Mother with a combined gift from the family, a bench in her honor for downtown Winter Park in the Rose Garden near the bench inscribed to our father in honor of his 90th birthday, five years ago. We want many people to sit on those benches and feel similarly inspired by their enduring beauty and youthfulness.
