Looking forward to an Evening

I have been invited to a very big, elegant party on the 17th of this month. It is the 95th birthday party for Philip Islie, the founder and CEO of The Vitamin Cottage. He is also the founder and main voice to the internationally renowned and revered One World Order. For the past seven years, he has been recognized by the French-based Who's Who in the World organization, as being on the top five people to "pay attention to".
I met Philip and his wife, Jelica, about six years ago. They are our neighbors. They are very nice, kind people and actually very 'down-to-earth'. They do not put on airs as if they are better than others, or that we are beneath them in ANY way. Although our lives do not allow us to socialize with each other often, we try to get together for brunch, lunch, or coffee every couple of weeks. We have been to several of their small get-togethers in both their homes, as well as them coming to our gatherings.
The first time that we had been invited to one of their functions, it was for Philip's 90th birthday. It was huge. It was elegant. It was surprisingly fun. For as old as he is, Philip is incredibly healthy and he loves to dance. He and Eli were on the dance floor more than anyone else that attended.
Philip has been fighting with his health much more in the past year. He still is very active; traveling all over the world, running the O.W.O.(remotely and on site), staying involved with the family business, etc. I haven't seen him in several months, and I'm looking forward to his party just to see how he's been. Although we differ in our political beliefs, I find him to be an incredibly intelligent, kind man. He likes having someone to just sit and talk with. I don't see his health lasting much longer and it will be hard for many people when he passes on. I truly hope that he will be around for us to celebrate his 1000th birthday!
