[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1082963, member: 17767"] Nice story and although sad, it is the nature of things. Dad died at 90 of an infection. He could have lived longer as he had good cardiovascular function and clear lungs. But his mind was crisp and sharp. He could still tell new stories and rattle off people's names from memory. Mom will be 91 and still has a good mind. If I inherit their longevity, one of the issues I think an elderly person should ponder is how to keep yourself occupied. I never planned to get as involved with my farm as I have become but I am thankful I have because a person benefits from having something that provides motivation and daily activity. Something to think about and plan. The statement about indoor plumbing caught my attention. In the farmhouse where dad and mom raised their 5 children, they did not install plumbing until after 1968. When I left for college, it was the first place I had ever lived where I could take a shower and not have to go to the privy. [/QUOTE]
