It was a milestone birthday for both of them but all they wanted to do was celebrate their mom.<\/p>\n
Any birthday is worth celebrating, even if it\u2019s with family, friends, or by yourself.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s even more worth celebrating when you reach 80 years old with your twin sibling and your 103-year-old mother is still alive at your side.<\/p>\n
David Mosher and Winnie Mosher Merrill live in Brunswick, Maine and they\u2019re so grateful and blessed to still be celebrating it together.<\/p>\n
And they\u2019re even happier that they got to celebrate their 80th birthday party with their centenarian mother.<\/p>\n
Helen Mosher was 103 years old.<\/p>\n
Few people can say they\u2019ve experienced this.<\/p>\n
Plus they had just celebrated the turnover of a brand new year.<\/p>\n
Helen was only 23 years old when she gave birth to her twin children.<\/p>\n
Many descendants came after.<\/p>\n
And reports say she had 79 descendants at her age and she was blessed to enjoy life with them.<\/p>\n
Wearing matching red sweaters, David and Winnie arranged for food and cake for the celebration.<\/p>\n
But before they started eating, Helen prayed, blessing her family and the country.<\/p>\n
Their guests laughed and smiled as they sang \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to the twins while their mother joined them.<\/p>\n
Helen has lived through a lot.<\/p>\n
And David and Winnie\u2019s joint 80th birthday celebration was definitely one of the highlights of her life.<\/p>\n
She knew she did a great job taking care of herself to be able to live to be more than a hundred years old.<\/p>\n
And she also did a great job raising her family and seeing their growth.<\/p>\n
Even though her children are already senior citizens, she was still worried about them, as any mother would be.<\/p>\n
Helen also loved to watch baseball and always kept a scoreboard during every game.<\/p>\n
Was it her love for baseball that gravitated Winnie towards adding baseball to their lives when she married former Yankee Manager Stump Merrill?<\/p>\n
Who knows?<\/p>\n
But one thing is for sure, Helen\u2019s favorite player is still \u201cthat handsome Andrew Benintendi of the Boston Red Sox. \u201d<\/p>\n
David and Winnie have another sibling named Richard and the three of them gave Helen around 76 grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. Amazing.<\/p>\n
It was so great that they were able to celebrate this birthday and life\u2019s highlight.<\/p>\n
One last round<\/p>\n
It would be the last time Helen would celebrate their birthday.<\/p>\n
Helen would pass away 11 months after they celebrated this milestone.<\/p>\n
Helen passed on with no regrets.<\/p>\n
She joined her husband of 64 years, the love of her life, Charles Mosher in the afterlife.<\/p>\n
As any close family would, they celebrated her life because she celebrated their lives with them.<\/p>\n
And for this, they have the fondest memories of their family matriarch.<\/p>\n
