I had dinner with my friend tonight who is 95 years old. She is the oldest among my friends. We had seafood salad, broiled fish, spinach soup and Italian macaroni with tomato sauce. I always have good time with her. One day, I asked her "How are you keeping your health and having young mind?" She said "You need to think about others and so you can find works that you can do for them. Volunteer activities gives me special power."
She lives in alone even though she has children. She still drives and goes to sports gym twice a week. She loves to read a book. She is curious person and she always tries to know new things. She is my ideal woman. I love her very much, my grandmother in N.Y.
How nice that you see your grandmother and enjoy her company so much, Nozomi!! Where does she live? She must be in pretty good health to live alone at the age of 95!
ReplyDeleteI also have a grandmother who is 95! She lives in New Delhi,India. My Dad lives upstairs from her so he eats his meals with her. ( My mother died some years ago) She is losing her eyesight and her hearing in 1 ear but her brain is sharp. When I visited 2 years ago, she asked me questions in the evening about my day and remembered everything I told her I was going to do. I hope to see her again next January.
