My 86 year old mother's texting history............
I heard mom's phone buzzing, indicating an incoming text message. Of course I had to locate mom's phone, it was in a bag on her walker. Which wasn't even near her as she was sitting at he dining room table.
I grabbed it & gave it to her. I looked at it and saw it was from my sister-in-law, thanking mom for her birthday wishes. Mom looked at it & said "I didn't send any soup over." I looked over mom's shoulder & pointed out the thank you for Birthday wishes. But Mom was insistent on wanting to know when she sent soup over. I pointed out the date of that text it was, December 8, 2015. So only 2 texts from her daughter-in-law in 1 year. Mom also has to stop reading texts from top to bottom. "Mom, the bottom one is the most recent". I sent her a text 3 days ago she hasn't read yet.

1. My 79 going on 80 had a older
friend, who has passed away, that used to text her and wonder why she never responded.
My mom doesn't text or have it activated on her phone account. |

3. Three cheers for my 90 year old Mom.
We Skype every day. She keeps up with her emails and carries her (simple) cell phone around with her.

6. Good for her!
I am way younger and do not have a texting device! LOL
Some of my gal pals who are in their 80s use it all the time and are annoyed that they cannot text me. |
