Sorry for your loss. I have three close relatives over 100 at the moment. I'm fortunate to have them and speak to them as often as possible. It's amazing when you think about all of the changes that they've seen over their lifetimes. My Great-Grandfather decided to start playing piano at 98. He took lessons. He lives alone, but he drives himself to a local nursing home to entertain the "old folks" once a week. Amazing.

Cherish them. Spoil them silly and SHOW your love for them. Hug them. Kiss them. Stroke their hand or arm. tell them how much you love them. Hopefully they are Christians ... tell them heaven is a wonderful place and to meet you when it's your turn to leave. When their day does come and hopefully they go to heaven ... wouldn't it be wonderful when it's your turn if they are there to greet you?
