My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My maternal grandmother was the longest-lived of my grandparents. She migrated to Australia in her 80s and lived into her 90s. It was great that she got to be part of my adult life.
My father was 40 when he had me, so he was more a grandparent than a parent.
My father died in '97. But at least he lived until 93, so he saw my success.
My mother left my father in their late 60s.
I have an uncle who lived to 101, and my father died at 95, so I have a second career ahead of me.
My father was 64 when I was conceived, my mother 38, which was late for babies in the 1940s.
My grandfather went through a lot in his life.
My grandfather lived to be late 90s on one side and on the other side, 70s or something. And my father died young, at 63. But he didn't take very good care of himself.
My great-great-grandfather lived to age 28, my immigrant great-grandfather Pedro Gotiaoco died at 66, my grandfather was 68, and my father died at 34.
My mother was 45 when she had me, so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents.
