Introduction
We may not often, if ever, know someone personally who reaches the milestone age of 100. Usually, we hear about folks living to be a century old on various media sources. I know a fine Christian lady who will be 100 years old tomorrow, Lord willing!
The article from January 18, 2021, honored this dear lady. It referenced my entry from January 26, 2020, on the same topic.
Aunt Mona Made Television News!
On Friday, January 14, 2022, I was working at the “Hadean Realm” office, not from home. Mrs. Appalachian Irishman was working.
WBIR-TV (Knoxville, Tennessee) visited Aunt Mona on that Friday. I wish that we could have been there! The WBIR-TV website links are as follows:
“A Century of Stories: Oak Ridge Calutron Girl Turning 100 Years Old,” WBIR-TV, by Katie Inman, published 1/14/2022. This is the news article.
“Oak Ridge Calutron Girl Celebrating 100th Birthday,” WBIR-TV, 1/14/2022. This is the audiovisual recording. The caption reads, “Mona Beckner turns 100 on January 18. She's lived a storied life full of love, laughter, and history.”
Conclusion
Tomorrow is Aunt Mona's 100th birthday. It is the same day that my uncle Robert Allen Wood (5/14/1939–1/18/1941) left this world in infancy.
Each of us lives a few years here. A few of us may live to be 100 or older. Aunt Mona has been ready to go to her everlasting home for many years. Uncle Bobby (Robert Allen Wood) is there already. Many other family members and friends are either there now or looking forward to going to that everlasting home.
This temporal life is not our permanent home. We will all join the great and everlasting reunion in heaven if we are ready. Are you ready, dear reader? If you would like to converse privately on this vital topic, please use the Contact Form on this website to email me.
I'll stop to publish this after supper. Mrs. Appalachian Irishman has already said, “Okay, Georgie! It's ready!” If you ask, I will share why she calls me “Georgie.” I call her that nickname too.
