On this 75th birthday of mine, we were on flight to London with Mila and a friend. Last year, Mila asked me what I want for my 75th birthday and without hesitations, I responded that I want to see and visit London, Paris & Rome.
This birthday brings with it mixed emotions and lot of memories.
Most people have two or three birthdays in their lifetime that stand out. I've had three; at 28, when I became a father. Having a child entailed a lot of responsibilities, not to mention sleepless nights when your kids are little. At 65 when I retired, when even after three months, you're still making a lot of adjustments, i.e. like waking up in the morning and no more job to go to. Eventually, I realized that actually this is a good time in my life to spend with my wife the years to come.
At 75, it's really with mixed emotions, having felt I have lived life to the fullest and still with good health to enjoy even more years. Our two children have their own families and the four grandchildren are giving my wife and me enormous joys and happiness and that give us incentives to enjoy life even more.
At 75, I am filled with gratitude for the many blessings and a joy for life's victories already accomplished and now I can celebrate again, again and again !!!
