I may be around for a while yet! by ollyfran

I may be around for a while yet!

On a visit to the local cemetery I spotted this gravestone. My maiden name was Graves, although this couple are not related to me. But it got me thinking.... the gentleman lived to almost 97, his wife died on her 100th birthday. My Dad is 97 and still going strong, his brother died aged 97. Seems the Graves's have some good genes! Might still be doing 365 project for another 25 years or more!
As once said - live long and prosper.

Lovely capture. I wonder what all their stories are. I hope those many years you may have left are healthy and happy.

A lovely shot that got me thinking - did I get the appropriate age genes from my mum or dad? Dad lasted until he was 78, but mum lasted until 96. Only time will tell!

Lets hope their genes have somehow transferred to you

Focus on that thought.
Lots of longevity in your family.

That's sad that she died on her birthday.

That is a beautiful headstone.
