Old age

  Well my last brother/sister of my grandparents gets buried/cremated today. At least as far as I know, there were a lot of them but I think they are all gone now. She was 89 in the end, another long lived female relative, my grandmothers living to 88 and 93. My grandfathers on the other hand made it to roughly 67 and 70 (I think, I don't know their exact ages). Not sure whether this is a good sign for me or not, neither of my grandfathers lived a healthy lifestyle, both smoking and eating the wrong things whereas my grandmothers didn't. Then again my great aunt whose funeral is today smoked like mad. I suppose it should be good news for me as to my expectancy though assuming I live a healthy life, which other than a bit of unhealthy eating I do roughly.

  Given that rough age range I'm almost half way through my life. That is still a long time and a lot of stuff I can do with it. Sure I may be a little bit more infirm in the latter part of it but when I was really young I also wasn't capable of doing most thing due to my age. I do wonder what I'll get up to in the rest of my life, especially after we move. It's not like my life has been uneventful or bad up to now, just what else will it bring? I also wonder if I'll be the last of my generation. I have a younger brother and four younger cousins and two older cousins so it is weird to think we will be the old generation like our parents are now. What will we get up to once that time comes in the next few decades? So much to wonder about and look forward to.
