Will I make it to 200?
I just saw a news piece on TV congratulating St. Joseph's Catholic Church of Hessen Cassel on their 175th anniversary. They were founded in 1841. That got me thinking, our church celebrated its 175th 10 years ago; it was founded in 1831. We had a really big celebration, actually several events over the months of that year. Now I'm wondering - will I still be here for our 200th anniversary? That's 15 years from now. Assuming I'm still here, I'll be 86. I should be able to hang around that long. A lot may have happen in those 15 years. In the usual order of things all four of my grandchildren will have graduated from college, married and I might even have some great-grandchildren. Wouldn't that be fun? When my son was four years old he asked me if there were dinosaurs when I was little. Maybe in 15 years a little great grand will ask if I was here when the church was founded. This time I'll probably look the part.
