Carol Perkins: Happy Birthday Mama

Previous Column: Drop Your Drawers

Click "Read More" for the address if you'd like to send a birthday card for Carol's Mom's 103rd.

By Carol Perkins

On March 10, 2024, my mother, Marguerite Reece Sullivan, will be 103 years old. Age isn't a subject she talks about very often except to wonder what in the world has kept her hanging on for so long. I tell her fondly that it is to worry me to death. (She is still the boss.) We laugh.

Until last September, she was on her feet, taking rides through the countryside, getting her eye shot once every six weeks, and going to the beauty shop. Her lungs have slowed her down, now depending on oxygen around the clock.

"I have this thing stuck in my nose," she says annoyed.

My mother, however, is sharp as a tack.
