Would have been Dad’s 105th birthday today.

Alas, he died in 91 aged 71. Too early.

Another victim of nicotine.

So your dad was born 1919
My dad was born 1924 and would’ve been 100 this year!
He also died in 1991!
And from nicotine! Age 67

71 was way too early   :'(     Sorry to hear that, Monk.

Thankfully, both my parents made it to their mid/late 80s.

Although, they suffered a lot in the final year   :'(

Condolences, Monk.  Always leaves a feeling.

In three months, late Nov to late Feb, are my parents birthdays and death dates. Bit tough.

Yeah. Mum was only 11 weeks short of reaching 101. If she had lived that long the dementia would have taken so much more from her.

It’s an interesting numerology thing about dates born etc
Do you see a pattern?

For instance: My daughter born on same day and month as my grandmother.
My son same month and day as my older sister whom died in infancy which is also same date as me, my brother and his twin kids. All on the 2nd of the month.
Mum was 22nd and passed away on a 22nd date.
Maybe it’s coincidental… IDK.
