[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please go and participate in what you can, and as suggested above, make an appearance when its not a kid-appropriate event and then just go and enjoy yourselves doing something else. My dad was diagnosed with ALS when he was 76 and was gone before he turned 79, so be there while you can.[/quote] I have a similar perspective. My dad was vibrant and active at 75. A couple of years later health problems and depression set in, and he passed away suddenly a week before he turned 81. I had hoped to throw him a big party for his 80th, but he wasn't up for it. I was married the year he turned 75, and had many of his friends there and I'm so grateful we have those pictures and memories. [/quote]
