    Default 100

    I didn't realize my father was 100 years old. I visited him at a care center. They said he had cancer. I left a few images to let him know I was there. Well, if he is ever awake again. His condition is terminal, and probably won't last the month.

    I think 100 in itself is terminal. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your dad Rich. Congratulations to your dad for being a centurion. My dad only made it to 93.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    My father wanted to live forever until he was only able to watch TV. My mother was saved after having a massive heart attack. She didn't have much of a life after that. The family made the decision without my presence. I don't know if my older brother is alive. I heard his wife had a stroke and was living with her daughter. I heard this from the nurse caring for my farther. I cannot say we have a close family.

    My grandfather was 93 although he had complications from mustard gas and shell shock.

    The doctors gave me three months.

    You cannot believe everything.

    I'm sorry for your news. Perhaps this can be a catalyst for your family becoming closer.

    Jim,

    It has been my last one for the last ten years. I inherited horrible blood. Well, about 50% is the right stuff. I heard my younger brother had major surgery. I heard it form the nurse where my father is staying. No idea about my older brother. I did hear his wife had a stroke. She never considered me as part of her family. My father was up when I visited him last. No idea what he said. I guess he knew it was me. After a couple of minutes, he nodded off.

    Rich
