"My Granny Will Be A Century-Year-Old"

Among all the elders in the family, I am very much overwhelmed to have a granny aged 99. She will be a century-year-old next year. This is the second day that I feel so blue. She was hospitalized secondary to pneumonia. I can’t blame if she got it because of her age. Elders are more susceptible to get sick easily. I asked my younger brother to check her out in the province. Hopefully, she will be fine soon. Is there anyone of you take good care of your elders? How old are they? Are they reaching the centennial age or had reached the centennial age? Image Credit: pixabay.com

Wow! I think you had been enjoying your age, my friend. Personally speaking, I am not sure if I can reach that age.

This lady is awesome also. So awesome when she stops by on my punk rock posts. So makes me smile like no other 91 and liking spiked and blue hair. Maybe the music. Have not figured it out, but does it matter. She saw something and took the time. Love people with her heart and like Miss Patsie and she stopped and said I do not care , you on the right path in my opinion. Respect

I do agree that it is quite tough. But I think we need to think positively about everything for the elders' welfare.

@Shavkat We all get old, at least most of us do. It is not easy to be dependent on others for the basic needs but that is the life cycle - siva

My grandparents passed away awhile ago, my mom is in her late 70's and that is who we take care of do as much as we can for. She is pretty spirited still and does all her own work and such. We go over and do the harder things for her.

My deepest condolence to you and your family. I think we need to give back all their sacrifices that had given to us.

We are so blessed to have her. And it doesn't feel good seeing her sick on the hospital bed.

I also anticipate that this situation will happen in my life. I lost my father three years ago.

So cool to hear. Hope I make half that age. That is so neat. Not many can relate. She would be my best friend if lived close. Picking her brain and listing to how it was. Respect your elders because not many ways to lean like that. The horses mouth so to speak. Shame whar we do to our elders now in the land of the greed.

I am sure you will be a good friend. She's a groovy granny and totally different from the other elders. I do feel ashamed of some of her children's evil acts. They had turned into greediness. That's what are dealing now.

She was living with my uncle in her hometown. She refused to stay with her children's houses.

No more elders to take care of. Will put in prayers that your grandma gets well soon and blessings to her. The good Lord is watching over her for sure.

@Rusmini I do think it is. Geriatrics do experience changes in their body system's functions. That's the reason why we need to be cautious and keep them in a good health condition.
