my partner has an aunt who is still alive in her 90's and her mother is also in her 90's. Mum lives in a retirement community and still drives her younger friends (in their 80's and 70's) to doctor's appointment. Trek takes them on a busy So. California freeway.

Mum stays young and sharp in her faculty in part to having two young kittens we forced her to have. We did cat rescues and we promised her to take care of the cats if the cats outlived her. The cats have kept her busy, mostly enjoyment and interaction for her.

My aunt died in her 90's; my father made it to 84; my mother is in 80's and still very much together. She has forgotten English and now only speaks Japanese. It's okay with me but for my sister and her family not so good.

Both of my paternal grandparents made it well into their 90's and that was 20 years ago. Yes they were born in late 1800's.

I just hope I don't make it that old. It gets very lonely when you are the "last man standing". Sad commentary but very true from my ex's Aunt living in retirement community back in 80's. I fully understand and appreciate her commentary.
