I KNOW THIS WOMAN IN REAL LIFE! Really surreal seeing her here. My Grandmother Gretchen lived across the street from Ginny in Rockland in the last parts of her life and they were good friends. Ginny and her family are very kind people who were incredibly nice and supportive to my family when my Grandmother was in hospice and later passed away in 2009. They helped us get through a very rough time in our lives.

This woman was born two years after my grandparents, whom i lost in 2016. Grandpa almost made 98. She reminds me of them when they were healthy. That spirit. These ppl breathe life back into us if we sit and listen. ❤️

We should all be so lucky to still have our moms around (in perfect health, no less) when we’re almost into our 80s.

@moonjock1470 2 жыл бұрын

Amen! My mother is in her early 60s and she is one of the only people her age she knows who are lucky enough to have both her parents still alive, my grandfather is in his late 80s but sadly recently went into a nursing home with Alzheimer’s. My grandmother is in her mid 80s and still completely independent. Lives in the house her and my grandfather built 60 years ago, drives to visit my grandfather 3 days a week and other days she goes grocery shopping, to the hair salon, or to brunch with friends and family, including her 96 year old sister. Even though her grandchildren are in their 20s and 30s she still makes sure to have us over for dinner if our parents are out of town, something she’s been doing since we were teens staying home alone for the first time and despite the fact that most of us are not living with our parents anymore! She’s a gem.

That's inspiring. Don't declare how you're supposed to act based on that age number. If you're 50 but you feel 30 strut around like you're 30.

She needs to bottle that laugh and love she has inside for her family, including her husband! And sell it along side the lobster!

She still lives at home, drives, even operates a boat. She's a in great shape, probably most people can't do that at that age, let alone 80.
