My Grandmother Turned 105 Yesterday!

It was my grandmother's 105th birthday yesterday. She is as feisty as ever, very talkative and she still has a beer now and then. In fact, she gave up smoking when she turned 93. She still lives in her own home a leads a pretty normal life.
On the other hand my dad, Jesus, who is 82, led a very healthy lifestyle. Nevertheless, my father has Alzheimer's and my grandmother is sharper than ever. What gives?

What a wonderful blog. I saw you mention it on TV tonight and Googled it. I feel that you think about your dad the same way I think about my mother and also have had the same setbacks, although I also don't begrudge this and feel lucky to still have my mother and am grateful that she has a nice disposition.

Pray for me and my mom and I'll pray for you and your dad...deal?
