Arvol lives in the country outside of Jewett, Texas. He has care givers that come by and take care of him. Tori, pictured above is an EMT and takes care of him several days a week. She and the other care giver provide a vital service and we are thankful for them. 
We had a quiet celebration, he is proud to make it to 94 and says his goal is to make it to 95.

Linda and her cousin Gerry relax while watching the opening ceremonies at the Olympics. Gerry also lives nearby and often comes by to take Arvol for a ride and to get something to eat.-----
One of the challenges seniors face is maintaining their independence while at the same time being able to receive the vital services they need. Arvol is fiercely independent and wants to stay that way. He would love it he could die in the home that he shared with his wife, Lou Ella, for many years. We want to honor his desires at the same time we want to make sure his needs are met.

Ecclesiastes 12
1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"-
1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"-
6 Remember him—before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, 7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
