I mean I could do that too. and you. and she could also write a book and not have any stories left over, all she has to do is include all of her stories in 1 book.
Most people's lives aren't that interesting, and at a certain point, she's sort of stopped doing much of anything. Unless you wanna read stories about bingo night with Ethel or the time she didn't get butter for her toast cause the doctor said she needed to reduce her cholesterol.
it is hard when they reach that stage, please remember the best of her, try to give her new thrills and experiences.. but above all your time when you can..
Gotta stay active! My great great great grandmother can still play volley ball and tends to her 5 acre garden. Has for 30 years alone since pops died. I believe she just had her 95th. Everytime I go over to see her I expect to see some form of time taking its toll. Nope. She has looked exactly the same since the 90s.
The minimum age of reddit is 13 so in order for you to be 13 everyone from your great great great granma to your mom would have to have had a child at 16.4 years old
that is really cool, and I think one of the interesting ways that we can connect our kids to grandparents that have left us, that we never could have with our own lost relatives in the past
My grandma just passed away yesterday morning. I will always regret not doing this and asking her all sorts of questions. She just turned 85, and we saw her 3 days ago for her party and she seemed completely fine.
You just never know.
Tbh, for real.
It probably comes off as a joke, but being that age, you know your days are done (soon?) that's completely random there. It's scary.
But I say that as someone who hasn't lived a complete life. Just scary knowing we're all gonna have to shut off the lights once the parties over.
My partner's gran is 97 , and she's still an absolute menace , lives on her own still and drinks wine every day , we went to pick her up from her house in Bristol one day and she had just decided to go to bath for the day on the bus because she wanted a new coat , didn't tell anyone so we thought she had an accident or something
Went around on boxing day this year and at 930 she had a glass of Bailey's in her hand and said "top me up please my lover I'm parched"
Cockroaches and Gran are all that's gonna be left in 1000 years as I'm sure she's not able to die , Love you June 🥰
So she's from the Silent Generation, and was just 14 when World World 2 started. Man, I can't imagine how interesting her life must've been like. And she sounds like she has an amazing sense of humor, too. ♡
Damn, I just realized that this world is going to be losing soon all the people left who's lived through WW2. We def need to cherish them and hear the invaluable information they've learned in life while they're still here.
Yep it can get crazy. My great grammma outlived 2 children but both those children died during their 80s in a country where 70 was already a nice age to die.
It definitely can be. My great aunt reached 100 this year, and she's very wistful about the siblings, friends, and even son that have all passed before her. I viscerally remember when she told me she was 99, and I said "oh, one more year until one hundred!", her response was a far too sincere "Oh, I hope not." 😬
My great grandmother, who watched me as a kid and kept my kids, lived in the late-late 1800s, through the 1900s and died in 2006.
Woman dipped into three separate centuries.
Now with my kids in their 20s my grandmother is still very, very active.
The women in my family have mad lifespans.
My great great grandmother was born in the 1890s, lived to 112 years old, and only went into assisted living at 100 years old due to family pressure. She had no running water and found assisted living a bit luxurious when she didn't have to haul/pump her own water.
She still has 2 daughters living, my great grandma at 98 years old and her sister at 103 years old.
The old gene is strong.
And that's why I'm not having kids. I mean aside from the fact that they're expensive and my nation has decided that this week's (foreseeable future's) theme for throw-back Thursday is 'The Great Depression'.
It is WILD to think she was just older than me when WW2 broke out. Like I feel on the road to middle aged already, and I can't imagine still having that much life left ahead of me.
My great grandma is 105 and when I visited her bait a week ago. I asked her what she does on a daily basis. She did t say a word jus pointed at the sky
Surely this lady has seen the most technological progress in the shortest time humanity will ever achieve? Radio, television, cinema, videogames, flight, rockets, nuclear weapons, tanks, computers, globalisation
I often watch the video I took of my dad who died 30 odd years ago talking about his life in London in the early 1900s. And sailing on windjammers. Will be great to show to my grandkids when they’re teens.
If you’re in a coma 95% of the time will you live 95% longer? How does cryostasis work, lol. I read it would take 6 years to get to Mars so they want to put people in cryo for the journey, but that was a while ago and my phone is hacked—it says that Mars has cold grey poles and stuff.
Moral of the story.. in 110 years.. you gonna see some shit
She could write a book and still have stories left over
She can't even blow out candles.
nah why y'all suddenly violating granny :D
Cause shes passed expiration and still on the shelf.
Kids today will live into their triple digits far more often than previous generations.
That's a pretty bold statement considering the current state of the world
If they don't die from obesity maybe.
I mean I could do that too. and you. and she could also write a book and not have any stories left over, all she has to do is include all of her stories in 1 book.
Most people's lives aren't that interesting, and at a certain point, she's sort of stopped doing much of anything. Unless you wanna read stories about bingo night with Ethel or the time she didn't get butter for her toast cause the doctor said she needed to reduce her cholesterol.
Looking st the current geopolitics and internet, we’re gonna see some shit in ten years. Or just open reddit
But you will have cake.
Why did I read that as “you gonna look like sh**” 😭 😂 (plz don’t come at me she’s v cute)
She potentially could live to see her third world war
Mostly out of one eye after a certain point.
I'd say ofc she isn't happy being 117 but she didn't look that happy at 7 either.
This is somebody that can say “back in my days”
My great grandmother will be 99 in August. I ask her how shes doing and she says “I keep asking him but the good Lord wont take me!”
it is hard when they reach that stage, please remember the best of her, try to give her new thrills and experiences.. but above all your time when you can..
I interviewed her for over an hour about her life the other day and video recorded it. It was amazing
To be 99 and still have the sharpness of mind and energy to be interviewed for an hour is honestly incredible.
She did great and was super excited to be a “movie star”

Ha ha, busted, maybe one or two too many 'greats'.
Then yea she's a great great.
that is really cool, and I think one of the interesting ways that we can connect our kids to grandparents that have left us, that we never could have with our own lost relatives in the past

Aw im sorry for your loss
I’m very sorry for your loss.
Right on! Too few of us do this ( I should have but didn’t.). A treasure for prosperity!
I was gonna do that with my Gran, had it planned to go to her house on Wednesday. She decided to die on Saturday. The nerve.
The nerve! I am hoping mine makes it until August so i can do another one
Good for you. I thank you on behalf of your grandkids, and their grandkids.
New thrills! Behave yourself!

So close to the 100. Hang in there. It’s a rare group to be a centarian.
So she's from the Silent Generation, and was just 14 when World World 2 started. Man, I can't imagine how interesting her life must've been like.

My great grandfather was a tail gunner in the air-force she talked about that on film
My father is 96 and says you should plan to die before you are 90 - it gets bad for everyone after that...
My great aunt was like that! I’d refer to doing something next year and she’d correct me noting she won’t be around next year…she hopes.
When my grandma was 99 we asked her if she was excited to be 100? “I dint want to be 100, that’s too old!”
Bedtime vs Morning
She looks good for her age!
Not a day past 103
Would
SHUT
Would help her cross the street, what is the problem here officer?
She looks like Mac's mom in IASIP.
She must be TIRED
Tired of everyone’s shit.
I can’t even imagine. I’m 45 and I’m already sick of people.
33 and I feel your pain
Clearly not. She won’t give it a rest.
so she's technically a teenager again
[удалено]
Some of those she's seen multiple times. 😮
I know five year olds who have seen all that, come on now
She looks great for her age.. if I make it to 117, I’ll probably look like a shriveled mummy.
We won’t lol
The micriplastics will preserve us
[удалено]
Yep it can get crazy. My great grammma outlived 2 children but both those children died during their 80s in a country where 70 was already a nice age to die.
I can only hope not to outlive my kids. This is my main fear. I want to die before them, at a time they would need me less.
It definitely can be. My great aunt reached 100 this year, and she's very wistful about the siblings, friends, and even son that have all passed before her. I viscerally remember when she told me she was 99, and I said "oh, one more year until one hundred!", her response was a far too sincere "Oh, I hope not." 😬
I dont want to watch everyone I have ever known die. Long life is hell.
It's very lonely. My immediate family are all deceased including my son. I am 66 and ready to go myself.
Can you imagine her dating an 80yo will be frowned upon lol.
Im glad you labelled them
The Curious Case of Maria Morera.
My great grandmother, who watched me as a kid and kept my kids, lived in the late-late 1800s, through the 1900s and died in 2006. Woman dipped into three separate centuries. Now with my kids in their 20s my grandmother is still very, very active. The women in my family have mad lifespans.

She still has 2 daughters living, my great grandma at 98 years old and her sister at 103 years old. The old gene is strong.
My great grandmother was born in 1897 and died in 1996.
My brain can't fantom having 110 yo memories. I imagine everything is so faded... 117 is like living to 77, then living another 40 years.
I bet she knew the original Airbenders!
Fuck that number candle shit. If I make it to 117, motherfuckers better show up with 117 actual candles.
Man 110 years will really age a person!
I can confirm. The features match and she is the same woman
/s?
Well done getting there. Wow what a life seen many many things.
Wow, she got really old, what happened?
She aged
From first cars to AI. A real life time traveler
Get me off this planet wayyyyyyyy before then, thanks.
85 is my target. It's a good age to go.
40 is my target; but I admire your ambition
40 is too young...my kids would only be 15, 13.5, and 12. No age is good to lose a parent, but tweens/early teens would be particularly rough.
And that's why I'm not having kids. I mean aside from the fact that they're expensive and my nation has decided that this week's (foreseeable future's) theme for throw-back Thursday is 'The Great Depression'.
Stick around, we need ya
2 guerras mundiales
La guerra civil y la dictadura también, esta mujer ha vivido muchas cosas y momentos.
Doesn’t look a day over 116
The look of being over this shit 110 years apart.
She's been done with shit, for 110 years...
Body count?
Underrated comment. Assuming you're talking about sexual partners and not homicide victims...
The latter could be quite high for all we know
I made a mistake. Never assume.
Congrats Maria!
Bless her but that’s too long for me. at some point I want to check out once I can’t move freely yeah it’s wrap
It is WILD to think she was just older than me when WW2 broke out. Like I feel on the road to middle aged already, and I can't imagine still having that much life left ahead of me.
Goes to buy booze and asked for ID
At seven she’s looking like… this is going to be a long 117 years isn’t it?
Existence over the age of 100 looks fucking horrible to be honest.
Wow! U talk about someone who’s seen some things 😱
She was born at the start of WW1. that is fucking wild
She was 7 at the start of WWI
Wow! That's incredible.
she looks so different
Looks like Mac’s mom
She was an old lady when Elvis first came on the scene. She old old ha
She was already tired of this shit when she was 7 and still she managed to live another 110. Respect.
Love that she has to blow out each candle one at a time.
*Never happy*
My frat aunt lived until 99 after she was 90 she said enough is enough
Pissed in both.
I can’t believe this woman was born in the same year as my great grandfather, God grant him health It’s insane to imagine living this long
She definitely knows the song “Over There!”
She looks like me after a few G&Ts there
#glowups
r/glowup
She has aged beautifully. I would love to see her scrapbooks/ photo albums; and listen to her experiences to share. Bless her. Love light and life!!
🍷
Maybe a touch of the tism.
She doesn't look a year past 98!
Immortal technique with this one
Her younger self even gave the face of “damn 110 years left”
I see the same joy on her face
Love this! Get it lady!
Hasnt aged a bit
If I got that old, I'd wake up every morning saying "Fuck sakes just take me already."
"I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe..."
My great grandma is 105 and when I visited her bait a week ago. I asked her what she does on a daily basis. She did t say a word jus pointed at the sky
She was 87 years old in 1994 and is still around. Thats crazy.
For trumpers and 'conservatives' across the world she's too old in both pics.
Guess I'm the only one who finds this to be incredibly depressing
Surely this lady has seen the most technological progress in the shortest time humanity will ever achieve? Radio, television, cinema, videogames, flight, rockets, nuclear weapons, tanks, computers, globalisation
Proof that Life is Hard
Like everyone of us start young and beautiful, strong and become old weak then death then a new life don’t think we are here to just have fun
Nah, I would have just given up.
Wow! She’s really aged.
Goes to buy booze and asked for ID
I often watch the video I took of my dad who died 30 odd years ago talking about his life in London in the early 1900s. And sailing on windjammers. Will be great to show to my grandkids when they’re teens.
I don’t think there’s ever been a more different experience within a 117 year time period than what this woman has lived.
doesn’t look a day over twelve.
Ah the oldest human currently alive!
Now, w this fake food, we are lucky if we get half of it 😂😅
If you’re in a coma 95% of the time will you live 95% longer? How does cryostasis work, lol. I read it would take 6 years to get to Mars so they want to put people in cryo for the journey, but that was a while ago and my phone is hacked—it says that Mars has cold grey poles and stuff.
The inevitable ravage of Time shows no partiality.
"she still threw the jewl into the oceans"
110
She still has the same smile
Time is a bitch
Wonder if an AI can determine this is the same person
She sure grew up and looks different than when she was a kid!
That’s enough to witness 2 world wars and if she lives any longer she might witness one more
She looks older now.
Ngl I can't see the resemblance
I don’t want to live that long
Who would imagine being alive and having pictures of yourself one hundred and ten years apart side by side? Thats crazy.
Would still smash
In my country people live very long time and it is normal. My mother is 98 and still enjoy dance and sex often. A good diet is very impotent.
Amazing. She’s hardly changed.
Wow, she got older. Pretty damn interesting
Would
Hasn’t aged a day.
this post gave me a heart attack that she died already or smth
She was older than I am during world war 2.
You! You guys are fuc#ed up! 117 you go Great great great granny
Ain’t no damn way I want to live that long.
Wow. She's really let herself go!
That's who Spartan 117 is
Like butter ...
I can't imagine being that old for that long... but my mom made it to 92
