She was strong and engaged the whole week. Within a few days after everyone left, she passed quietly in her sleep. She was only 65.

I'm 67. I can see how lots of people around my age just give up the ghost. Life is more and more difficult, getting squeezed from all sides, and the rugs are regularly yanked away.

I get a new burst of determination whenever I feel like somebody else is trying to expedite my departure.

Apparently I like it this way. Eating better, exercising, ready to fight every minute of the day and night.

#MeToo! I'm the oldest I've ever been and in the best shape of my life. Since I can't run all that well, I reckon I'll have to fight.
