I’m a 46 year old married father of two in the UK. My maternal grandmother is still very much alive and is 100 in a few weeks. She called me on my mobile a few days ago to say thank you for the Christmas present we sent to her. All of my other grandparents died 90+, I maintain good (if dynamic) friendships and love being outside so it’s looking like I’ll live a long time… but… but… I’m now realising I’m no longer an old young person, but an young old person and the aches and pains are starting. Hope the long life - if I get it - doesn’t involve too many more aches and pains.
