My parents, although young looking, have reached the senior status.  I still can't believe they have been ordering off the senior menu for 7 years now.  Even thoug they are seniors, they don't act their age at all. They are always on the go!!  My pops is my golf partner and my mom is always there when I need to bend an ear. 

My pops works as a chaplin at Hoffman Hospice and loves what he does and my mom runs an in home day care with 6 small children on a daily basis and loves what she does.  They both work extremely hard all day but never complain and somehow ALWAYS make time for their grandbabies and their sports or activities.  With 13 grandkids all in sports or extra curricular activities, there is not much time to get old.  

I just want to say THANKS dad and mom for being amazing parents, grandparents, and  the best friend a daughter could ever have.  Each year I love you more and more, imagine how much I'm going to love you when you are 100 years old and I'm 80.  That seems wierd!!

I can definitely vouch for this story...this couple is family oriented for sure!! I always loved staying the night at their house when I was in high school. They always made me feel like part of "The Meade Clan" and never acted a day over 25!! They are just a fun loving pair and I love them to pieces!! Mandi Comment From: MrsB

Mandy, My parents thought the same of you. They just LOVED you!! Crazy to think we are getting so old ourselves, it seems like yesterday we were all hanging out after a football game or sporting event. Love being an adult but do miss the freedom of adolescents. We still need to do lunch. Miss you girl!!!!
