    Awww…Look what I found Darrell ….80 MEANS………….. 80 reasons to smile.
    -80 years of love.
    -80 years of fun.
    29,200 days and counting…
    -80 = 8 decades of Amazing.
    -Turning 80 and still going strong.
    -80 years old; infinite people to love.
    ….You might be 80, but you’re still a kid at heart.
    80 is just another way to say Beautiful :hugging:
