Kaban ni D_BystandeR: KINSA SI IMOGENE LARSON???
Her name is Imogene Larson, 100 years
old. She was born one day after Thanksgiving Day in 1914 (Nov. 28, 1914?) Her
daughter named Sandra Sue died at 6, probably in 1947 because she got married
in 1941 when she was 27 years old. Roy, her husband was a new teacher in their
place when one day she saw him passing by her beauty shop. She had another
daughter aside from Sandra Sue. Sherry is her name and she was divorced when
she took her mom at 85 to Hongkong and at 90 to Las Vegas. Her husband, Roy, died in 1997 or 56 years after they got
married in 1941.Then at her 100th birthday, they threw a birthday party for
her. Then a man came over to ask her something no one had
ever asked her for a long time. "Can I dance with you?""I can
hardly walk," she answered. And then she danced. The world has changed for
Imogene Larson's century, but Thanksgiving isn't much different. Turkey, mashed
potatoes, stuffing and pie have survived as long as she has. So has the idea
that it's a day to pause and say thank you. As usual she'll say the
Thanksgiving prayer, which will come down to this: "Be thankful for what
you have." Not everyone has as much as she has been given, but that's the
guiding spirit of the day for all of us at any age. "Be thankful for what
you have."
