The Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.
6Yes, may you see your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!

gah, I'm 40 and I worry constantly about dying of cancer, dying of an accident, getting sick, just plain dying :/ could be the ptsd, however.

Longevity surely runs in the genes. His 82 year old son could as well have been 60 by his looks.

Why do families stick their elderly relatives into care homes? Bad form. This man would be so much happier to be with his own loved ones. Care homes have their uses, at times. but should not be an excuse to dump elderly relatives. My friend worked as a care assistant and she would always say that families should look after their loved ones, as staff are too busy to give their charges much love or attention.

Hope the many negative naysayers who think life is over after 70 will think again

None of these people look old....the ones in their 80s look at best Ike looked at 107 imho like a man in his late 60s.
