My one great-grandfather lived just one month shy of 102.
My grandfather (his son) lived to 97.
My other grandparents lived well into their 90's too.

My Dad made it to 87 and my Mom is 89.5 now and still going strong.

I'll try to last at least until my Mom passes. No parent wants to see
their child die.
