Still Has Things to Do at 93
Don Crowdis, Torontonian and one of the oldest bloggers alive at 93 still has places he wants to go and things that he wants to write. In his post It Bothers Me that I Have to Go he explains that even though he understands that he is old, he still wants to postpone death… to do the things that he always wanted to do.
I remember talking to my Grandfather, a British Royal Navy WW1 and WW2 veteran, about this subject. Even though in his 80s his daily life was simple (living with my Mum and having difficulty walking, seeing and hearing) he said that he didn’t want to die at all. He still felt he had something to live for, and he did, since he warmed the hearts of my family and everyone he came in contact with until he died last year.
It is very cool that Don is blogging at 93, contributing to this giant sea of ideas. He is also inspiring me to get things done while I am still young (relatively 
). And lately, with these damn winter blahs upon me, I need all of the inspiration that I can get!
YAY DON! How wonderful the human spirit is… I feel this way about life too, the more I am in it, the more I want of it.
Life is such a wonderful gift.
Agreed – but sometimes that is all too easy to forget (like when I sat in 1.5 hrs of traffic today
).
