Thoughts on aging... A tribute to Mama

My mama is hitting 90 in 2 months and 5 days!

She:
         maintains:   a facebook account (with a little help  with typing from great grandkids),
                             the real "techy" great grandma
         says:           "my thoughts are clear, my memory, a bit slow..."
         complains: "my back, knees and legs are so painful on waking up, and..." (lumbar spondylosis)
         does:           "...without my routine morning stretching exercises, I can't rise from bed" 
         has:             hypertension, too
         eats:            whatever she likes, but notes not really feeling hungry, just vague fullness : /
         hollers:        at the dog
         sleeps:        odd hours, but sleeps well
         hates:          street urchins that steal her mangos or throw stones
         serves:        as auditor (active) of the Senior Citizens group of our baranggay
         observes:    that she seems not to fear death, because Jesus is in her heart
         loves:          her children (2), grandchildren (6) and great grandchildren (6)
       
She is TRANQUILINA D. ZORRILLA-GONZALES  (shown here clowning with a red ballpen holder that doubles as toy spectacles :D!)
