it was a wonderful thing for your mother to live that long. she was sharp right up to the end to & that's a miracle in itself.

Wow, that is amazing! Your mother must have really been an amazing woman. I don't think I will live that long but I do want to live to be atleast in my 90's. I do not want to die though suffering or not being able to get around. I see myself still being an old woman, might walk slow but I will be walking and laughing and being a happy old woman. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother, I bet she was a great mother:)

What an amazing woman.We saw the first man on the moon.concorde.the home computer,mobile phones,sliced bread, a couple of wars you would be surprised how many things that have happened,the first air ambulance,cures for medical conditions.like immusiations.Bullet tain,first electric car.Vehicles run by gas.The channel tunnel.The iron curtain coming down.The first heart transplant.ect lots of things we just take them for granted and are used to them,but major things have happened,I suppose we might get a day trip to Mars in the future.We will just have to wait and see.xxx

I'm hoping so anniefannie. I want to see my children grown and see what they will do with their lives. I want to be a grandmother one day. There are so many beginnings to see that I would hate to miss out on them. Take care.
