[quote=Anonymous]People saying they “looked older” due to hairstyle, as if numbers lie! My grandfather was 70 when I was 13, which is how old my daughter is, and my mother is 72. It’s night and day. I vividly remember spending time with my grandfather at the condo they moved into when I was 13. He passed away when I was 18, so these memories would have been either when he was 70, or between then and when he was 75, and his last year was not good. I remember what a vibrant host he was to my parents. His condo backed to a wooded area and he would walk my parents along the perimeter of his condo, pointing out things in his garden. He played golf. He traveled. He visited with friends. My parents can barely walk to the mailbox. They are curmudgeons. They do nothing but grocery shop. My DH grandparents recently passed, all around 80. All were spry until the day they died. Golfing, boating, traveling, doing things with friends. Numbers don’t lie. [/quote]
