When you only have 100 years to live

My Grandma turned 98. We have a big party for her each year. And when I say big party, I mean a lunch and cake.

. Here is a picture of all of the great grand kids minus Eliza. She was sick.

Jack being helpful and pushing Grandma to get her food.

All of the cousins were very excited to see each other. I like it that they are such good friends.

Maybe I am wrong but I always think Noah is slightly annoyed that Enoch worships the ground he walk on. Enoch wants to do everything with Noah and I think Noah would prefer spending time alone with Shadrach. Noah is too nice and always lets Enoch follow him around. I think Noah and Hannah finally stopped calling him baby Enoch.

I try to imagine my life if I live to 98....

I think I will have six kids.....

(Dream sequence)

Ali- will have traveled the world in her ballet company. She will teach ballet at Juilliard when she is older and have 4 kids. She will spend her life serving others. Always giving her time and her talents to people in need. She will be 78. She will have 14 grand children and I can't even think about great grand kids..... ???40??? Let's not do that great grand kids... too much thinking involved.

Shadrach- will have been a Military General and saved the world from WWIII with his loving and humble heart. He will have 8 kids. He will be 76. He will have 30 grand children.

Enoch- will be President of the United States of America for an unheard of three terms. He appointed Shadrach something important and they worked together closely. He will have 3 kids. He will be 74. He will have 8 grand children.

Liam- He is a Dentist, but in his free time, he lives for music. He will play piano and four other instruments. He will have 5 kids. He will be 72. He will have 17 grand kids.

Baby number five..... I just can't say.....cure cancer???

Baby number six..... same....prophet????

My family will have strong memories of serving and loving others. They will constantly try to make the world a better place. Greg and I retire to Glen Arbor, Michigan. I have to wear two sweatshirts ever day because I am so cold, but I don't care. Shadrach, Enoch, and maybe a future baby decide to come retire near us. Everyone gets together in the summer at the lake. I still walk the Empire Bluff trail every day with Greg who is 102.

I know what you are saying. "Molly, I think you need to dream a little bigger. These aren't big enough goals." Hey, they say shoot for the stars so when you land on the moon, you still did a pretty awesome job. Here's to the stars!
