This is an image taken by my daughter-in-law of my son and his grandpa, my dad.My son will be forty on Monday. Dad is 85, almost 86 and is Vincent's last living grandparent. We all have places around the table, any time we visit, and we are grateful. Now everyone has returned home, and hopefully we have all carried family joy back to our places. I will treasure this picture.

He is slowing down some, but doing well for his age. He and his 93 year old wife still live in their own home, and he still drives.

@changjiangzhibin89 and scary, too. Even when he was younger he was a scary driver.

A wonderful picture indeed. Cannot tell by their faces their ages. They both look like young spring chickens. Blessing to your family.

Thank you so much. I have pictures from last year of my dad playing in the floor with his dog. I hope I do as well at his age.
