*Old School*
It's not new for me to handle people in the hospital who are aged 80+, 90+ years old. Despite their age, they're fairly strong and independent even in sickness. I really admire the old folks here in UK, particularly in England. Reminds me of my old folks back in the Philippines. I remember my late Lola Ampa, bless her, when she was having fun with her great grandchildren at 94+, enjoying the videoke party, and sipping some Bailey's! *Century*
Meeting a hundred year-old isn't that common nowadays. But I'm lucky to meet a handful of them in our ward alone. (Well, hello 1st-worlders) <--Is that even a word? They're really great to talk to, with all their fun stories and rich experiences. Imagine, I've just lived a 1/4 of their lifetime!*The Secret*
Then I met M, a 100 year old woman. She was very kind and lovely to chat with. And she's got a better memory than mine, recalling tons of stuff since her early teens!So I asked her: "Tell me, what's the secret to reach a 100 years old?"
And I would not forget her answer: " A lot of people have been asking me that. And all I say is this: Good Food, and Good Parents. If not for them taking care of me, I would not reach 100 years old." as she smiled nicely.
I wasn't expecting that answer at all. And I guess, that would be the greatest answer for a long life.
