It was a busy day today. My granny at 98 visited us and the world turned upside down. I had said it since the relatives came along in the house and the family gathered together to have a special dinner for tonight.
Granny is still strong and very sharp mind at her age of 98. The family hoped that she will live many more years. We want her to enjoy life while she’s still with us. I feel so relaxed when having a chat with her. The precious stories about the family are the most common topic with her. The secrecy of her youth had been shared and how the way she managed to nurture her nine children.
The best chat moment with her is about life. She has her sentimental moment despite being a jolly person. Granny wondered if how long she will still live in this world. Well, I always say to her that she will live more years and be the longest granny to live here on earth.
It has been months that I haven’t seen her since she stayed in the province. There are some dilemmas within the circle of the family. However, we just set aside and savor the time with our groovy granny.

In my own opinion, women live longer than me. I wonder what is the reason behind that. All my aunts are widow now. My father passed away last year so my mom is also a widow. Do you have an idea why it seems women have longer life span than me?

I envy you for having a Grandma who is still alert; she could soon be qualified to a P100,000 gift cash for centenarians from the Duterte administration. It's in the news.

wow a hundred years old, I bet grandma might reach that someday, if she's strong enough.
