My aunt died this past November at 94.
ReplyDeleteMy grandpa was 97 and grandma was 94
ReplyDeleteMy paternal grandfather lived to be 98 and lived at home until he was 97. My grandmother is 94 and doing well.
ReplyDeleteLongevity in my genes!
My grandmother god bless her is about to be 95---good days /bad days but she is magnificent
ReplyDeleteMy next door neighbor is 99. I check in with her regularly. I had to yell at her after the last snow storm to go back in the house and that I would shovel her walkway. I hope if I make it to her age that I have half of her energy and enthusiasm,
ReplyDeleteNot somebody I knew but I volunteered at a nursing home and there was this lady who was 107 years old.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother lived to 104
ReplyDeleteNow this might come as a shocker, but in my early 20s I used to volunteer at a retirement home, playing cards and other games with oldies. Yeah bitches, I care. (I just don't care about parasitic murderous pedo-worshipping leeches and their useful brainwashed idiots.)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it was a mainly jewish retirement home, and I met many Holocaust survivors, with tattooed numbers on their arms. It was an eye opener.
So there was this old man, 103, and he was such a sweetheart. Originally from Poland, survived Birkenau, came to the US after the war, and built a life. Actually *another shocker* worked, paid taxes, followed US law and integrated! I know, unimaginable...
So one day I asked him what it was like to be 103, and his answer broke my heart, and still makes me cry. He said 'You'd think that I had survived the worst thing imaginable, but let me tell you that there is nothing worse than outliving your own children.' His son had died of old age related illnesses, before him, and even his grandchildren were getting up there in age, so since then I decided, I'd of course would love to live a long (if more or less healthy) life, but I draw the line at reaching an age where I have to watch my kids getting age-related problems.
My nanny my mothers grandmother and she lived to be 103, one month before her 104th birthday..I was blessed she was able to attend my wedding and made me my veil..just to toss this out there to my mom mom who was my mothers mother lived to be 98..I guess longevity is on my side. But I don't think nor would I like to live that long...
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I forgot to say, I did that when I lived in LA for a year (and 2 summers before and after) on a student exchange program. I didn't do that in Britain.
ReplyDeleteMy mom died last October at 93, and my wife's uncle is 94.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor is 102
ReplyDeleteMy Mom will be 88 in May.
ReplyDeleteHer sister will be 90 this year.
Great Grandfather - 98 when died
ReplyDeleteMy aunt lived to be 101.
ReplyDeleteLove that story.
ReplyDeleteOne of my grandmothers lived until 99 and 10 months, the other will be (hopefully) 94 in june; but a couple of months ago I met some woman, the person who introduced her to me asked me how old I thought she was, I answered ("I do not give an f word", well I just thought this) "she must be in her 80s", she was a week from her 104th birthday.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother is 99
ReplyDelete"Milo's" forgetting his stories. Last week he was residing in the UK.
ReplyDeletePhony. Phony story, too.
I believe Marlo said he was on some sort of exchange program while he was here when he encountered the olds.
ReplyDeleteMy great grandmother was born in the 1890s, and she lived into my 20s. She wasn't older than people here -- but her parents were in the Civil War, and when she was born she had grandparents and great grandparents who held her. (The family ancestors were here before we were a nation). It's odd to think of the living link in time there was between us.
ReplyDeleteDanced with an 86 y.o. woman last year. She's rocking like you wouldn't believe!
ReplyDelete( I wish on everyone to be so full of life at 86!!)
Loved your story @Marlo
ReplyDeleteGreat-grandmother was 102, Great-uncle was 105, Grandmother was 101. I don't recall any of my older relatives passing before they'd reached at least 90. (Knocking on wood, for myself - although it would destroy me, to outlive my child)
ReplyDelete@loveless. That i SO nice of you!!!!brought tears to my eyes....wish everyone was like you!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Marlo.
ReplyDelete95 and counting.
ReplyDeleteHortensia - I have done a few things in my life, like living in 4 different countries, travelling, learning languages...amongst other stuff. I am not some village idiot, who has been stuck in the same suburb since birth - thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you find it hard to believe that somebody might have been living abroad as a student for a year (shocking I know), but I'm not surprised, you seem atrociously primitive and provincially small minded.
And btw, the reason I did this, was because when I lived in the US I was 20 years old, and not allowed to drink, so what was the point of going out? I thought I might as well do something productive.
ReplyDeleteLove all these ppl with super old grannies & grandpas still alive, you are all lucky bastards.
