Who’s the oldest person you have seen in your life?

I knew a lady one time who was like 103. I was polishing her nails. I asked to make sure because I wasn't sure if she was really that old. But she was! I know a lady now who is 96 and will be 97 in September. She still drives and comes here to visit 3 or 4 times each week! She's very with it!!

The oldest person I have ever seen is my husband's great grandmother. She is 107 years old. She will be 108 on November 25th of this year. She was living on her own up until she was 102-103 then she had to move in an assisted living nursing home because she kept falling. She is a wonderful person. Sadly she has started going down hill lately and no longer remembers who anyone is.

When I was a little girl we used to go camping every summer. I remember one year we were invited to a campsite a couple down for a birthday party. The lady was turning 112!! And she was just as active around the campfire as everyone else - even more active in some cases. She played with us kids like she was the same age as us. Whenever I consider how old I'm getting now, I think of that Gramma and vow that I'll be like her at that age :)

It is nice to see someone of your mother-in-laws age being so active. The oldest person that i have known is my grandfather, he was 98 when he passed, but he was not that active anymore. My mother is 74 this year and she is still very active, my dad passed, so she is living by her self, and is still able to do everything that she wants to do. My mother, and father in laws, are also still very active and they are both in their 80's. they still do some traveling, and enjoy life very much.

Hi, sblossom Your mother is haleness, in my life I just have seen a old man who was 90 years old, but he was lying on the bed .he could not move himself and couldn't talk with us.

My grandma Amu, who is about 89. She's sort of cookoo lol. She calls trees balloons and she tries to peel bananas with a knife. But she's my granmother so I love her. I haven't seen ehr for like 3 years though.

all of my grandmother's sisters. all 5 of them lived to over 100. she had a sister in law too that is still alive and we're not quite sure how old she is,but somewhere over 110.

hi sblossom, i have seen some oldest persons,but there is know special thing to inform and discuss,have a nice day

I don't know. Some people look older than they are. There are many old politicians who still campaign to win the elections. When I visit the villages I see a lot of old people who still take care of themselves and the household chores.

My family on my mothers side and fathers is very old. My uncle is 94, my aunt is 92, and my great grandmother was 105 but she recently passed away. She had some really great stories. She was alive during the titanic!

Hello Sblossom, this is an interesting discussion. Your mother in law is awesome! She is so healthy and energetic even she is already 95 years old. But I am wondering there is a rules which I read from a travel magazines mentioned that people exceed 90 years old can not travel by flight anymore. Have you ever heard this before? As for me, the oldest person I have seen in my life should be my grandmother. She is 90 years old now. She is so active and healthy too. I hardly see her fall sicks.

hi, the oldest person i have seen was the mother of the friend of my tita, she was 98 years old but then she is very healthy.. she eats by her own and take a bath on her own.. it's so amazing to see people like her on that age.. i hope i can also live like that..!!

My grandmother just turned 97 this April. She is still very alert,walking and doing things for herself. Every year we have a birthday party to celebrate her years with us. We all come from different countries where we are and celebrate. She does not believe in over the counter medicine. She practice old and natural remedies. Well if it work for her that is great. I wish to see her live to be 100 that way we will have the biggest birthday bash.

I have seen my grandmother with the life span of about 100 years.She was very old and skinny but she was full of stories and incidents.I miss her a lot...

she will be my grandma... i don't really know the exact age of her... but i'm pretty sure that it is over 80... she has problem with her legs and can't walk properly anymore because the bones already become very weak... so she is in the wheelchair most of the times... but other than that, she is still very healthy and her memory is still incredible for her age... take care and have a nice day...

The oldest person I have ever seen was 108. She the day after her birthday. I have seen quite a few people well over the age of 100. I worked at a nursing home and she didn't seem to enjoy much. She couldn't see, hear or talk very loudly. She was NOTHING but skin and bones. It wasn't very pleasant. I hope I don't live that long. Can you imagine what all they have seen and gone through? I don't want to.

Your mother, great. My grandmother is the oldest, 83 years old.

It's my grandma's aunt.She is almost 90!! And she is still in good health. Wish her happy~~

My grandfather was 84.
