That photo reminds me that my mother would have been 100 years old yesterday.

You are only a year older than my Dad. His Mother will be celebrating her 100th in 4 weeks time.

It's a big year for birthdays in our family - my gran, 100; my dad, 70; my sister, 45; me, 30.

My father's mother died in the 1918 flu pandemic, too...

I bet everyone has relatives who died in it. I think it was two great-grandmothers for me.
