He had a great time! He's outlived all his contemporaries and a lot of their children, The changes he's seen!

fatshot yea, he talks about getting ice delivered to the house, listening to the radio shows as their only entertainment and crazy stuff like that.
I don't think we can make enough advancements going forward to match what they've seen unless AI really does all the things some people claim.

PA-PLAYA lol, my Dad quit driving at 93. Just didn't make sense to pay car insurance, upkeep etc to drive to the corner a couple times a week to get donuts. My FIL is a stud at his retirement place because he still drives at 87.

My Mom still drives, but not at night and not very far. Mostly to the store and church.

I'm 72 and have outlived my Dad's age at his death. Mom made it to 86. Both were smokers and drinkers and I'm neither. "I plan on living forever........so far so good".🤣

Those of you who still have your parents on the planet with you are blessed, IMO. Cherish it. Hearing about all these birthdays being celebrated by folks in their 90s and + is inspiring. I really miss my folks and am living the dream being able to spend quality time with my adult children and all the grands.❤️

sdandrea1 Very nicely stated. I agree. My parents were 43 & 42 when a car crash took their lives. Still sucks today. Not sure grandkids are in my future but love being around my boys. Why I moved.
