re: Check In If You Have Been to a 100th Birthday Party

Yes, my grandmother made it to 102.

Mr. Frank who lives in Capital Heights turned 100 last year and they celebrated at a Bee Nice concert.

I've been to two; an aunt and a cousin. My mother missed hers by 5 months, 3 days.

Two of my great grandmothers. One lived to be 102 (1892-1994) and the other lived to be 103 (1886-1989). Both were sharp as a tack up until close to their deaths.

I feel very lucky to have had both of them in my life and to be able to talk with them about all the changes they saw and experienced over the course of their lives growing up in South Louisiana and Chicago respectively.

Next February my grandfather will turn 100.

Went to one about a year and a half ago. My wife’s great aunt… My daughter was about 5 months old at the time and the lady was adamant that we had to bring her. It was really pretty awesome that it meant so much to her for us be there because she really wanted an oldest/youngest in the family picture.

One thing that was peculiar was they were sending out invites well in advance, like 4+ months. I mean, I get that it’s a big deal and you want as many people to plan to be there, but damn. Planning 4-6 months in advance at that age is risky to say the least.

I made it to my great grandmother's. My mom's paternal grandmother. She outlived two of her sons including my grandfather. .

In. My great grandma lived to be 105.
