He's 90.....

Happy 90th Birthday to MY FATHER.....
His 3 girls love, love, love, love him!
His 6 grandchildren adore him!
And, his 2 son-in-laws are so thankful for him!!


He doesn't look a day over 60.

I guess I got some pretty good genes!



It's a big day here in Judiland.......
My father---Francis Anthony Xavier Carr.... is 90.
My Irish-Eyes-Are-Smiling Father is NINETY!!!!!!!!!!
My father....the man who I adore.
Thank YOU dear Lord!
My sisters and I are so thankful that our father is still with us.
He is a very special guy.

It's been a wild road to 90.....

He outlived his 3 wives.....
His childhood sweetheart--Margaret....who died on their one year anniversary
My mother-- Antoinette...who he shared 15 years and 3 daughters with.....Me, Denise and Cathy...
His Elizabeth....who he spent 25 glorious year with....no children but lots of traveling.....

He outlived his beloved little brother Patsy.....
It broke his heart to say good-bye.
We all miss Uncle Patsy so much....

Yet, my father is still in the here-and-now....

He told me that THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST SUPERBOWL of his life.
He wants THE STEELERS to win.
So, dear God....just in case my father never sees another SUPERBOWL....please make sure
THE STEELERS win



GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Judi, I have to agree, your dad looks really young for 90 and that's not easy to do when you're fair skinned. :) And for some reason I doubt he's a huge believer in sunblock so I'm gonna have to agree that you were blessed with great genes. Happy Birthday to him and hopefully his birthday weekend is blessed with another win as was YOURS. It will be a good game but as my husband says, "Defense wins championships." Go Steelers!

Well I never care about football and never have a team, but I am now officially a Steelers fan and will cheer them on for your dad!

Happy Birthday to your Dad from me too. He does look great for 90. I hope his team wins too. ;)

Oh damn it Judi. You know how I feel about the Steelers and now you've gone and made me feel all guilty for wanting them to lose. Your dad looks great. My dad will be turning 80 in August and feel so blessed that he is still with us. He fought cancer last year and overcame it, so I'm hoping that is a good sign he'll be with us for many more years.
