Our 8 year old granddaughter, Phoebe, was on the boat that was towing her grandparents ( me & Rose). Afterwards, she said to me,”Grandma was smiling but you looked concerned.” I do look concerned but I had a good time. Another granddaughter, Daphne, laughingly states, “You are not typical grandparents!”
To that comment, I say,”Amen?” Both Rose (71 years) and I (almost 68 years) consistently and persistently push ourselves by working out with trainers and staying active so that we can enjoy the things we love to do as long as possible. Life has its inevitable trajectory, but we can work to push back decrepitude until near the end
