My mother will have her 97th birthday in a couple of weeks. No real medical problems, beats me at Wordle regularly, reads a few hours daily, mentally sharp as a tack. Doesn't walk as much as she should, but eschews a cane.
No alcohol, not much meat, mostly cereals, yoghurts, lots of fruits and vegetables, all common sense stuff. And the friends she does have (since most have long passed on) are decades younger. Still lives at home. Shouldn't, but wants to age at home, as most elderly do nowadays.
It's hard to think we'll live to 100 (or biz hundert un tsvantsik) but the truth is many of us will. How much that will cost, and what quality of life it will be is another question, but people should at least consider planning to live longer than they think they will..
She was always so positive and you can feel it in the way she shared her rituals. I will adopt them into my routine (sans the rollers) and think of her. May her memory be a blessing.
I worked for your father for ten years, and met you and your sister when I helped sneak a grandchild into hospital room. A lovely family. May your Mother’s memory be a blessing.
I noticed your unshaven appearance when I last saw you on i24News and inferred that you must have suffered a loss. I'm very, very sorry. May your mother's memory be a blessing. And thank you for sharing her wisdom with us.
Your Mom sounds amazing. May her memory be a blessing
Condolences on your mother's passing, Amb Oren.
