I often think that of my mom who is 101. She has gone from horse and wagon, horse and buggy, first cars, first planes, etc.

You are blessed to have your mother still with you. My mother was 72 when my grandmother died. It drove my mother's second husband crazy that he wasn't the eldest member of the family.

My grandmother just turned 100 in September. She's healthy as a horse and doesn't take any medication - the only person to do so in her hursing home. She lived by herself until about three years ago when my father found her outside in an an ice storm, locked out of the house, confused as to where she was. She has no short term memory at all, but otherwise is in perfct health - especially for a 100 year old!!

Bad news is: she's actually a step-grandmother, so I don't share any of her genes!
