I loved watching baseball games with him.
I had a great-aunt who told me "you can always remember how old I am by whatever year it is, because I was born in November of 1900." She died in August 2000. When she was 95, she sold her house in NJ and moved to Florida because she was tired of the winters.

A few months before she died, she told my mother she was ready to go because she was losing her eyesight, and she loved to read but it was getting too hard.

The "new" oldest person looks very frail and weak. I'm wondering if she is happy to be alive or is ready to go to the light.
