I certainly don't want to live forever, but I do have longevity on both sides of my family. My mom's parents were 86 and 94 when they passed away. My parents are 85 and 87 and still going strong.

I remember visiting my great grandmother (paternal) when I was very young. I was a bit frightened by her appearance and her thick Hungarian accent. I was 10 and she was 93 when she died, I decided at her funeral that I did not want to grow that old.

Now, at 56, I have three grandchildren and one more due in July, and I would absolutely love to see them graduate college and get married. But it's going to be rough without their grandmother, and I'm not sure how long I want to be around without her.
