A 100-Year-Old Person: The View from Kindergarten
What does a 100-year-old person look like?
For their 100-day anniversary, kindergarteners were asked to come to school dressed as 100-year-olds.
This Aged P. is a member of my family, but, as is obvious from our respective photographs, I am considerably younger than she.
Crystal
For my mother
born in Martindale, Texas, 1917
In all her seventy-five years, she never grew old.
*
The courage that my mother had
Went with her, and is with her still:
Rock from New England quarried;
Now granite in a granite hill.
The golden brooch my mother wore
She left behind for me to wear;
I have no thing I treasure more:
Yet, it is something I could spare.
Oh, if instead she’d left to me
The thing she took into the grave!-
That courage like a rock, which she
Has no more need of, and I have.
~ Edna St. Vincent Millay
