A MEMORY..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Thirty one (31) years ago.. Sometime around late August 1994.. I was back in Royal Oak, Michigan, visiting with three other friends. All four of us had either celebrated recent or had imminent upcoming birthdays.<\/p>\n

One of us said: Can you believe this?\u00a0 “We are all Pushing the Big Six O\u201d!”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After awhile we paused and the\u00a0fourth friend, Bill in who\u2019s home we were having the above discussion, said after a long pause..<\/p>\n

How about this guys? “I am Pushing the Big Nine O\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And here I sit, now a mere one year from \u201cMy own Big Nine O\u201d!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Time She Flies!<\/p>\n

By The Way, all three of the others have passed on.<\/p>\n

Sobering huh?<\/p>\n

A MEMORY.. Not a Birthday..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On this date, my birthday, September the 5th, 1997, Mother Teresa passed away. I was blessed to have been introduced to her, and then worked actively with her Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, during three visits to India beginning in 1992.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On my birthday,\u00a0 and on the passing of Mother Teresa, it was September the 5th in both Calcutta (late evening) and (earlier in the day) here in the United States.<\/p>\n

Patti met Mother Teresa when we two were in Calcutta, in 1996. We both worked in and visited a number of Mother Teresa’s various missions.\u00a0 We share a lot of warm and lasting memories of that 1996 visit together.<\/p>\n
