Three days ago, my grandmother turned 81. She's still extremely healthy, mentally and physically. She sleeps early and wake up early, has two meals every day, one at ten o' clock and the other at five o' clock. She cannot sit still, she has to be doing something at any given time. She saves money and always encourages her nine children and eight grandchildren to do the same. She didn't get pass elementary school because girls were not supposed to do so at her time, and her wisdom is very practical.

Today, she has just attended a funeral of one of her past acquaintances who died of cancer in the age of 76.
