May is Older Americans Month

Trish Emig of Stillwater, OK ~ aging advocate extraordinaire ~ wants you to know it that May is Older Americans Month. Barack Obama says so right HERE. His proclamation ends:

I invite Americans of all ages; representatives of government at all levels; businesses and communities; faith-based and neighborhood organizations; and health, academic, and recreational institutions to acknowledge the contributions of older Americans during this month and throughout the year.

So, lets hear your stories. Leave them as a COMMENT, post them on your own blog, put them out on Twitter, send them in an email to family and friends. Let's each honor someone "older" who has touched our lives in a special way. (For me, it is my Grandma Pat - but more on that later,)
