[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is 89 and still living in her own home. She had 4 kids. All the parents of the spouses of her kids died in their 70's and 80's. My FIL passed in his 70's. She is the only parent left for all 8 of us. She had her first kid (my DH) at 24. He had his first kid (her oldest grandkid) at 25. My son had his first kid (her first great grandkid) at 24. So that made her a great grandma at age 73. I have wondered why she is still alive when all the other parents passed long ago. She never was a smoker she never drank excessively, she was never overweight, and she stays physically active. She dusts her entire house daily. She scrubs the driveway on her knees every few months. She irons her pajamas! We still have big family meals at her house but only because she has a big dining room and her house is always cleaner than the homes of everyone else. Everyone else brings 90 percent of the food. [/quote]
