I suppose you do not get married every day in the Swiss registry office, so my son (2nd from right) decided to make the most of it. I do not know what they were all laughing at, but it must have been fun (Mr. Swiss, second row in the middle 🙂 ).
Dad on his 100th birthday last September. I know he really enjoyed that day.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!
My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)
Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

There are often good reasons to smile. You found three great ones. I’m sure your dad is smiling at you right now. Is your dry sense of humor inherited from him? That smile seems to say that it is.

My dad always saw the bright side of life in his own way, and I suppose I do as well. He always liked a good laugh.

Your dad was the younger 100-year-old guy I’ve ever seen. My first mother in law lived to 104 and I swear she looked 120 when she was 75. It’s nice when a happy event brings out the smiles. Genuine smiles. Rare enough.

Dad never changed a lot for me, as his daughter. I just noticed in the last 10 years that he was looking older, but he never had mental problems. Of course, he would forget things, but he was there until the end, knowing exactly what was going on around him. My mum was a different case. She passed away at the age of 74, I noticed things were going downhill with her.

I actually never realised how old he had become and always had the feeling that we would celebrate his 100th birthday together, which we did.
