I'm near their age. I'm 81 years old. One thing that brings you happiness in old age that is hard for a young person to understand, is however my life has played out, I got the chance. By the time you're 81, you know dozens of people that died much younger, in their 30's and 40's and 50's from accidents, suicide, rare diseases, you name it. So just by being alive still, my heart fills with gratefulness that I got at least 81 years to experience life. When I was young, I would have thought that sounded pathetic, to be so easily made happy that waking up and having chats, or reading the paper, or walking outside would fill me with joy. When you're young, that's never enough. You feel like you need to leave your mark and make a big name for yourself. But a funny thing happens as you age. You live long enough to see some people you know become big shots, became rich or famous in some way, but most aren't made much happier by it, and some become lost when the notoriety fades. And then loving life for the small things starts to shift from feeling pathetic and small, to feeling wise and full. In fact, if life has taught me anything, it's that the reason we're here is to be present with the priviledge of each moment, as much as possible. Thinking about your goals tomorrow matter of course, and cherishing yesterday's memories. But more than anything, I think what has kept me healthy and happy is appreciating the priviledge of each moment. When you're a little kid, that's how you think. You appreciate recess at school, or going down a sliding board, or a walk through the woods. DON'T LOSE THAT. That, whatever that is, is the reason we're here. Being connected to small moments so strongly that they feel large. If you can do that well, you can enjoy being 80 as much as 40 or 20.

Super interesting. In 50 years people will be saying "My biggest regret is looking at my phone so much."

Not a single mention of money. Just family and friends and about fulfilment in other ways. Beautiful

I am 68. My mother in law died at 95. She told me that she regretted how much she time she spent on worrying. She often went to bed with migraines due to this. It changed me. There is so much I just let go of thanks to her wisdom. It took me years to figure out we can only control ourselves. Enjoy the moments.

My grandpa just turned 100 yrs and my grandma just had her 99th bday! They're lucid, able bodied and feisty!! Lol

I'm retiring next month. And I'm a bit nervous about how to keep up with a lot, wasn't really able to save so much, but i believe i will survive.

I am 23 years old guy. These people seems 10times more happy and satisfied than me.

An elderly woman got onto me for not closing the blind on the plane we were on. So I closed it because she told me too. I thought she was kinda rude the way she said “ you need to close that blind”. I said yes mam sorry about that. Then as we continued in the flight, I was reading a book and she handed me a light that you can put on your book. So I realized then how sweet she was and I’m so glad I was respectful to her. Respect your elders always even if they come across as too stern or loud.

I’m in my mid 40’s and what I learn is don’t wait until retirement to do what you want now. If you like to travel. Make time to do it now. If you can try not to work so much. Enjoy your family and friends now.

Today we worship youth over wisdom. Our seniors are living history and should be more appreciated.

I'm in my 70's and have a good life as a single widow. My 33 years of marriage, and numerous successful careers taught me so many life lessons. I wish I hadn't lived in so much fear, because it all worked out. My only son is having the time of his life on the road with his wife and dogs in an RV....I would like to see him more, however, I'm glad to see he's happy. I've been on my own for 20 years, happy and socializing with many friends, still wondering if a life partner will have a place in my life. More will be revealed, I'm enjoying the journey ; ~ π

This is precious. Thank you for honoring the elderly. They deserve our respect.

There's something really comforting and inspiring about this 92-year old grandpa learning French and looking so happy saying "Bonjour" 💞

I’m listening to the 92yr old who paints, draws, has plenty social relationships, is learning French, values relationships and attributes his life to clean eating, plenty of exercise, etc. he seems like he blooms where he’s planted even tucked away in a retirement home. And the younger lady who lived on St Croix with the positive attitude.

I am an 87 year old gay man, and having lost my life-long partner ten years ago, now live alone in a beautiful old historic house with a large garden here in Australia with close family nearby. My mantra is that I still do the cooking, washing, ironing, shopping, gardening, vacuuming, minor painting and decorating as well as singing in a choir, and entertaining friends and family every five weeks when it is my turn on a family/friends roster. Oh, and I also play piano to amuse myself. I regret that my beloved player-piano is not working these days, otherwise I would be able to boast being able to play piano concerto transcriptions, Chopin and Beethoven as well. Life has been very good to me for which I am truly grateful. I am also fortunate to have some internet skills but as with most other people, young and old, these are in a constant state of catch-up, but are enough to keep me in touch with the world. Life for the elderly nowadays is not nearly as limited as it was in the famous 'old days'.

My grandparents will be 89 & 85 this year. 67 years of marriage. They are the perfect couple. She loves to talk. He can barely hear. LOL

Everyone is different. For me, when you are young, don't rush into marriage, don't spend recklessly and take care of your health. I did survive and now, retired comfortably at 89.

I'm 37. My only regret so far is that I haven't taken more risks and haven't achieved as much as I know I'm capable of.

Just lost my mom in her late 90s a week ago. She didn’t seem to have regrets. So glad I was able to care for her at home. Treasure them as they are suddenly gone. The house is so empty

My papa lived with me for 25 years .. we had coffee every morning and diner every night .. I lost him at 83 4 years ago his presence is missed every day .. this was so wonderful to listen to .. thank you

As a young kid I learnt from my grandma that I was lovable and was loved a lot by her, those memories and lasting impressions saved my young adult life. I grew up happy, positive and full of life just cos’ of the time I spent with my grandma and nothing else, I will remain eternally grateful for my beautiful and kind grandma, she saved me in a way I can’t describe 🙏

I think the key is to be active, social and be healthy.

I'm not 90 yet but I can tell you that no matter what you do in life, everyone has regrets. That's life.

My Dad was born in Jan. 1929. My Mom was born Aug. 1932. We lived in Baltimore. We used to go to Wildwood , NJ in the summers. That would have been early 1960's. My Dad was a Korean vet. He worked his career with Bethlehem Steel. Unfortunately he passed in 1998. I miss my Dad. I love him.

Gretta 85?? Omg how ?? She looks like she is 65!! :O Actually they all look really good for their ages !

Both my grandmothers said on their death bed that all that matters in life is family. They both were smart women xx

Glad to meet these elders. I am 85 had 4 children leading to 10 grandchildren and one great grandson. I feel more like 68-70. I keep up to date with the world events and have a wide interest in learning new things, new languages and cultures. I have been a widow for the past 18 years. I am blessed with a roof on my head, enough to live a simple life. I never feel lonely, I learned to be comfortable with my own company. No regrets, learned from my mistakes, hopefully have grown in wisdom.

They all seem so youthful for their ages, that is a great secret in itself. Age is only a number. God bless them for sharing.

I have a 94 year old mother that is still doing well. She lives at home and is able to get around fairly well for her age. Her health is good and I feel blessed to have her around. I thank God every day that I have this time with my mom. She broke her hip a few months ago and recovered. My mom is a walking miracle for sure. Hope I can age as gracefully as she has. I luv u mom. 💗🙇🙏

It’s so wonderful to see you honoring people in this stage of life. Unlike other countries, seniors in America are overlooked and undervalued. They have become very wise in their long lives. We should respect them and learn from them. It would be a noble thing if more millennials would step up and show them love. They were once young and vibrant, too.

I thought the first gentleman was probably just a little bit older than myself and I'm almost 62. He looks good. 👵

When you get to a certain age only a few things matter, family and health.

This interview needs to be given to all seniors, everywhere. There’s no godly reason why seniors all over the world shouldn’t be given this kind of respect.

Life is fleeting, I feel like a young kid but I'm 32, I only realise I'm older when I'm around actual young kids. Life creeps up on you without you knowing.

am just 20 and to be honest no tv-shows, no social media has given me so happiness, fulfillment, and a spark to enjoy my life, but our elders did it so beautifully by explaining the meaning of life thank you so much.

Video is Titeled "Life Regrets of 90 Year Olds". They proceed to tell us how they don't have any regrets and are happy with what they've acomplished....................................................

Having regrets is useless. It's ok to feel bad about them for a short time and learn from them, but then let regrets go. But it's pointless to hold on to regrets because they cannot be undone. None of us can go back in time even for a second. We can however learn from our regrets in order to make a better decision the next time when facing a similar situation.

I have always been drawn to older people. I love listening to their stories. My parents were both born in 1921 and turning 100 this year. My Mother lived into her 90s. She was smart, beautiful and very talented, playing the piano and organ, sharing her gift with others. Our house was filled with music and happy times.

Learning French in this age,wow we got to take over his positiveness. We would study a new language if only we would use it.

This video confirms everything I’ve had on my mind. All of them light up when talking about their kids and friends and personal hobbies. I’m almost glad they didn’t bring up money or material things because I always knew money is just the tool to get us what we want and need but it will never give us as much fulfillment as sweet memories with loved ones. ❤️

If you don’t want to lose your teeth, then brush with baking soda!! Most people my age have dentures, but my teeth are there and healthy. Regular exercise is important to prevent strokes and Alheimer.

I m 66, live a happy life, m serving GOD, I now leave scriptures here & there, I don't speak to people anymore. Wish these virus would end. I m never at home, except when it's raining too hard. I m mostly at the malls. My husband deceased going on 8 yrs. I have three sons, the oldest, twins. My oldest son (one son, twin daughters & two more daughters). I have three great grand- daughters. Thank GOD for loaning me life. I went back to work, I love what I do. Love life, go out there & serve GOD.

These people are in excellent shape. Genes most certainly play a part, but they've clearly taken care of themselves. God bless them, I hope I make it to 85.

As a freaked out 55 y/o this gives me hope!

No way does Gretta look eighty-five! Bloody hell! o.o

I'm so thankful for older people. I love listening to them. It's easy to learn alot, even when their not trying to teach anything.

Loved this! I wish more people in our society respected the elderly. They have so much wisdom to give. They are very valuable and precious.

Their secret is optimism !!! 💕🎸🍌🌼

I am in my 30’s n I learned one things , to sit next to super elderly people and jus listen to them or their stories n trust me u learn to live life n also realize the real happiness is in small things and without material things ✨. Beautiful

"..Of course, I fight it off and face tomorrow." Lovely said!! Thanks Susan!

I'm going to be 26 years old and identify better with these folks than my own generation. I grew up in a long term traumatic situation, which spanned over 18 years. I also lost 13 friends to suicide in under two years, lost 4 more in a car accident, 2 more to a gun, my best friend to drugs, and my baby daughter. I may not be old but I know what it means to live and to be destroyed by life....and I really value the words that these people have to say. It gives hope to someone like me, who has tried to end my life with my own hands several times. It gives me faith that there's a light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to, and I love every moment that I spend listening to their pureness of heart. I love you so much, all of you. Thank you for your lives on earth, you are so cherished and appreciated. Especially by young adults like me, who have trouble seeing the worth in getting old in this world.

Notice the lack of isolation. They've always had community, they're always learning something new, and they're not fearing the future. Ty for this video.

26 years old and i kept regretting certain things i never did, the risks i could have taken... this video filled me with hope.

I'm 19 now but my motto in life is , "don't wait for miracles to happen , do it & don't bear regrets later" Have a great life y'all. ♥️

My mother is 92 (widow of 52 years) and still has all her wits about her. She loves to travel, being surrounded by her large family, helping others, and serving God. She’s saddened how the world is less trusting today. She remembers going to bed with the car and house door unlocked.

Why would you want to live with regrets? Nothing you can do about it other than to accept the way things have turned out

This is so calming. They have perspective and priorities straight. ❤❤❤

Thank you Derrik, lovely to see these seniors talk about such topics in their view. They were young before us.. one day we will venture the same path in age as they. NOTE: it would be fascinating for me to see a photo of them in their youth... lots of Blessings to you and your tea. 🙏💕

This made my heart so happy. I love seniors, their wisdom and life experiences are priceless. Thank you for posting this.

Great work Derrik! I'm based in New Zealand, and I help save family stories and memories on video too. I am passionate about doing this so that stories don't get lost or forgotten - as many sadly do. My Dad passed in 2018 after 2 years of illness that left him unable to communicate, so we didn't get the chance to save his story. My work is dedicated to his memory, and I feel privileged to be able to help save precious memories and stories for loved ones to pass on to future generations. I'm sure the families of these people will be so grateful for this doco footage of their loved ones. You can't put a price on this work as you know, and you've done a wonderful job. So glad I found your channel. ❤

Thank you for interviewing these people. It was good to know they did not have major regrets. God bless you and them.

Remember: You’re never to old to try/do something you love or something new!! 😊

It's a good reminder of what is important! Thank you to all the people interviewed for sharing their lives.

Thank you for posting this - I'm 81 an it's encouraging to hear what these people have to say.

Beautiful Souls ! So humble! Your stories Matter to us ! YOU matter ! I am glad I got to “meet” you here. Love from Buffalo, NY

I just love listening to older people talk about their lives I'm getting up there I'm 62years now,my dad is 88 a and my mom is 84 just love listening to story's about there child hood memories 😊sending love to everyone from Toronto Canada ❤

I know know what Im afraid of. Im afraid of getting old and looking back on the life I lived and being disappointed.

Derrik , you've done a wonderful job. Thanks a million! It is a precious gift to humanity what these people are sharing with. A great lesson for all the generations of the world. God bless you.

To Paul Kimball, my father is also 91, was in the army 5th regiment rifleman in Korea, and is also still married 63 years! Love all of these beautiful life stories. 💕

I am gonna be 24 in 1 day wished i'll stay 23 forever but life gives me hope evertime

Beautiful wisdom. They were gracious in their advice. Love this!

Heartwarming, thank you for sharing ❤️

That was just beautiful. I got the sense that with age comes a sense of peace and gratitude. Listening to these individuals was very uplifting. Thank you.

That was inspiring, thank you.

I’m still young I’ll be 64 in August but my life was filled with allot of Trials until an accident 15 years ago showed me Heaven and Hell is real, That started a Journey that has help me Know Jesus and it’s been Wonderful for the last 7.

Thank you for this video! I appreciate their honesty and for giving us a glimpse into their lives. We are now facing this with an aunt and uncle, both of which are drifting toward dementia. At 59, my wife and I are enjoying retirement and our youth (in comparison to our aunt and uncle). Love every day, never miss an opportunity to do acts of kindness, and giving back to the community. Life is truly too short.

Yes Derrik! Definitely please do, make a follow up video to this!!

Eat healthy, do exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 90th birthday lately. 😊

Thank you so much for sharing this. Very good to have around.

This video brought so much joy to me. Thank you for sharing

Don't forget that if they don't mention money, it's probably because they actually had money. Questioning people that lost everything and go through their old age without anything would be interesting as well.

I love that they all said they had no regrets...Thank you all for sharing a bit of yourselves with us.

What a great idea to film this, I am 56 now and sometimes the thought of retirement homes is scary but the lady called Anita was so happy it made me feel happier.

These vids are always so heart-warming and wonderful to listen to. My Dad died in 2021 age 57. Cherrish your parents because even the not so good times are wonderful memories in some cases.

I enjoyed this so much. Ty for posting :)

Thank you! Very moving

Thanks Derrik and guests. Really beautiful.

Bless you all, and thank you 💞

God bless these dear people who have worked hard all their lives. May they have many healthy years ahead of them.

I think they are just great, and I hope that when I reach 90, I still have it together, as they do. I'm a senior, but I'm not as old as they are. God Bless. Ms. L. Churchill

Man...this is just beautiful. Paul Kimball was especially touching. I also ran XC and played baseball in high school. But a husband of 64 years, Korean War vet, strong work ethic, and very wise. I've watched a number of these videos and it all comes back to several things. Strong family and friendships, being kind, letting go of things that don't matter, staying healthy, traveling, having fulfilling hobbies, and working hard at what you want in life. This was beautiful, thanks for sharing this.

Thankyou Derrik! the experiences and thoughts these elders share are indeed so very profound and timeless! Nothing in this World can equal the experience of life through their 80s' and 90s'.

No regrets....it's all a learning experience and it's all good. Life is meant to be lived.

Love seniors! They can teach us a lot! So sweet! X

Thank you for sharing your perspectives. I love hearing people with so much lived experience share.

Beautiful. Thank you for your wisdom.

Well one thing I personally learned is that life is amazing at 38! I'm pretty sure life is most enjoyable at around age 55. If only I could go back to my worried 20-year old self and tell him a lot of the worries will just go away with time. Time heals so many wounds! Maybe it won't heal all of them, but it's an amazing feeling to feel your happiness increase as you get older.

Always loved older people,they have been through so much,have the wisdom and experiance,was raised by my Grandparents.

I enjoy every second. Beautiful messages. Thank you.
