Live to my age

And your heart will have sucessfully pumped more than 50 million gallons (189 million liters) blood

Trough almost 400 million miles (643 million kilometers) of blood vessels.

Mankind may have made it to Mars

But my old heart has pumped my blodd as far as Jupiter.

And I'm not done yet

There's plenty to celebrate 

Even if sometimes in big groups it's a little hard to keep up.

The damaged hair cells in your inner ear beaten up by a lifetime of vibrations

mean that bit by bot the world sounds a little further away.

But I prefer to think about what my body has done

And what it can still do rather than whine about what it can't.

Thank you for coming Today's

I feel blessed for having you all here.

I've had a good life

A long life 

Longer than I could ever have imagined

But I did a bit of math recently and I would like to share it with you.

It turns out I've drunk more than 20,000 gallons(75,000 liters) of liquid

And eaten 70 tons of food 

Blinked more than 900 million blinks

Slept for more than a quarter of a century(25 years)

And of course lived through 4 billion heartbeats.

But as amazing as I find these numbers  

Like the candles on this cake

They are just numbers

the truth is the things that really count can't be counted.

Love

Wonder

Exhilaration

Hope 

Kindness

and Joy

So for those things 

I want to thank you all 

and I'd lime raise a glass 

To life it's one hell of a ride

To life.

Now, are we going to cut this cake or just look at it.

4 billion heartbeats

How many more to come

Who knows

But just as sure as there was a first beat

Someday for certain there will be a last.

When the last beat comes

My death will begin

My lings will rise and fall one last time

My blood will stop circulating

One by one m major organs close down.

But then for a few seconds

They tell me I'll have brain activity associated with heightend states of consciousness.

I wonder what I will see.

Ours is the journey of a lifetime

A transformation beyond imagination

Against odds no gambler would take a living breathing miracle

Just like billions of miracles that came before 

And billions more to come 

On the path we all travel 

From cradle to grave.
