Sounds like a fun guy!
I thought it was an interesting idea, he loved people, company, and ships staff came to know him pretty well and looked out for him. There is a doctor on board if he got mildly sick or if he wasn’t feeling well he would see a doctor in port.
he didn’t always get off at ports. sure did rave about the pools and hot tubs.
Yes, if the quality of life goes down, life becomes a burden 😒. If we remain healthy I suppose it’s okay to live longer.
Its good to see you back! In answer to your question I say NO WAY! My mom just turned 98 and you know the circumstances. I wouldn’t want to live like that and I’ve already told my kids.....there’s longevity in my family. My grandfather lived to be 101 and for the last year or so of his life he prayed to die
I heard my mom say many times over that she couldn’t believe she was in her 90’s. She will turn 95 in November.
My cousin who is 98 still travels! She is always looking forward to the future. She’s incredibly upbeat and in good health. If only all of us could remain healthy into our golden years.
That's a beautiful and touching story - I had tears in my eyes - good ones though!
"FloridaDD,"
I can't believe your mom is over 100. I'm sorry she's declining and I'm sure you've had to take care of her for a long time!
My mom was very happy at her 100th Birthday party and able to appreciate it, but she has gone downhill.
Those names! So interesting...Some of the names today seem odd but I the same goes for some of the ancient names too.
The oldest that I know of in my family is my great aunt. She died at 98. She walked to daily Mass every day and was still volunteering at church in her 90’s.
She was a member of the ladies alter group where she helped decorate the alter with flowers. She was also a communion server.
She was a tiny little woman and very interesting. She was a devout Catholic her entire life but married an Episcopalian who was divorced and had a child.
That was scandalous at that time. She loved the church but did not allow them to keep her away from the man that she fell in love with. She had no children of her own but raised a niece and nephew when their mother died when they were quite young.
She sewed beautifully and made exquisite christening gowns and other items that she sold to the upscale boutiques in New Orleans.
She loved to bake and made fruitcake doused with lots of rum for everyone in the family. I just loved her. She was a lady ahead of her time.
The oldest in my husband’s family was his great grandmother who lived to be just shy of 102! She had 12 children. She wasn’t even 100 pounds. We had a blast at her 100th birthday party. She had no cane or walker, had all of her faculties. She was dancing to the band that we hired to play.
Said to have died at the age of 969, he lived the longest of all figures mentioned in the Bible. According to the Book of Genesis, Methuselah was the son of Enoch, the father of Lamech, and the grandfather of Noah. Elsewhere in the Bible, Methuselah is mentioned in genealogies in 1st Chronicles and the Gospel of Luke.
