That is one thing that my mother reminded me of when she was ill some months before her 100th Birthday. Mother was always coming up with stuff that made us all laugh. About 8 months before her 100th Birthday, she said well I have already celebrated being alive and kicking. After all I was conceived 9 months before I was born."
