My great great grandma lived to 109. She was born in 1917 and passed away in May 2026, which is already incredible to me. And even her mother, my great great great grandma, lived to 105, she was born in 1898 and passed away in 2003, when i was only 1 year old. At that time, we actually were six generations alive at the same time, which feels almost unreal when i think about it. My great grandma, her daughter, is 91 now and honestly i believe she could also reach 100 or even more. Longevity really seems to run in the women of my family. I’m a man, so realistically i don’t know if i could ever reach ages like that, because women do tend to live longer than men on average. But i also had one uncle who lived to 101 and my great grandpa is still alive at 94, so maybe there’s still a chance. Maybe with medicine advancing, life expectancy growing and if i take care of myself, maybe i could reach my 90s too. Not necessarily 109 or 122, but just growing old with a clear mind and still being able to move would be a blessing.
