Description This is my great-grandfather. He's 82, almost 83...I remember when once he told me "Eheh...I didn't believe I would get the chance to see my grandsons grown ups...I told your grandma that I would be long gone when you were at this age..but God kept me alive to see and to enjoy all of you.." no, i'm not crying my ass of atm..no no
Even though he's my..mother's grandpa, I also call him like that..He retired..but keeps on working and he simply amazes me by that..because at first glance, you'd say he can barely stand..(_ _')..but he's just the opposite..
Grandpa uses to endlessly talk about the days he was young and how rough life was back then..sometimes this is kind of irritating, but you get to love him simply by that...

Yeah!
My husband has a mother of 96...........if she hadn't had SO many strokes, she would still be climbing mountains!

Aww
My [great-]grandpa got hit by a man close to his temple, next to his eye..and since then he had had problems with his eye; he suffered a surgical intervention...
Eeh..Usually, grandpa walked ahead us when we went up the hills, in the woods..All of us were gasping for air, taking breaks and he kept on walking

OLD age is............horrible.
You start slowing down VERY slowly. Then one day you find you can't pick up a sack of earth for the garden.........then you start forgetting thins......and on and on and on!
Thanx by the way for the fav.
