Visiting Parents on Motether's Day

I visited Parents' house on Mothers Day. The last time I visit them was on the early day of March to report my son's entry to Graduate School. My mother is 76-years old ,and my farther is 87-years old right now.So the next year,I have to celebrate Kijyu(喜寿)and beijyu(米寿)at the same time.

Happily,both are very fine and physically no problem except losing the hearing ability of my Dad. But still he enjoys a 10 to 20 minute-walk every morning and evening. My mother is also very very fine and still active to have a talk and chat with neighbours for hours and hours and hours.
For her,I'm still a child(actually I am). Every time I visit her she asks me of many many questions,like what did I eat today,yesterday, the day before yesterday,a week ago.........................(continues forever),if I ate a vegetables,meat,rice,........................(again,continues...... hahaha...), And my physical condition is best or better or worse or worst,or gain weight or lose weight.................. Many many questions continues to answer as if I was interrogated by police or investigated by the doctor in the hospital. Sometimes very bothering,I am bummed about that. It is really bugging me. But I know at this my age(over 50), the fact of having fine and active parents is really fabulous and marvelous. Couldn't be better. (いつまでも元気でね。)
