This is a story about getting old. Sometime probably ten years or more ago I lost my SS card. I have not needed it for anything, so I have not went to get a replacement. Next year, or maybe the end of this year, I will be so old I will need a SS card for something. I looked online to see what I needed to get a replacement. I printed off the application and started filling it out. It asked for my parent's SS#, if I knew them. I did not but thought I would find them in the SS death index online. Well, I found Daddy's right off, but I cannot find Mama in the index. What I did find was Aunt Lovetta with a death date of September 15, 1992. That is just 1 week after Mama died. I do not remember that they died that close together. Today, I took my camera to work and stopped by Uncle Floyd and Aunt Lovetta's grave to see if the SS list was wrong. No, Mama and Lovetta died within a week of each other. I still do not remember it that way. But, then, I am old.
