Demetrios it is a special day to Honor our elderly brothers and sisters that we will someday be. My dad is 78 I will call him today. Your writing inspired me to do so. I call him several times a week he is vacationing in Florida. He is a wonderful father. I wish you a nice wonderful day my friend. You always bring joy to my heart.
