My father


My Father

My father lived for 94 years, I remember that despite his age was a man tall and very healthy, I think the secret to long life was consumed foods such as vegetables, fruits, meat, milk and tortillas.
Was also always constant physical activity and I think it was happy with us, I loved him.

I remember that every day in the afternoon he sat in a chair on which he rested, he told us tales and stories. Went to bed early to rise the next day before that the sun began to peek.

One of the advantages he had, was to have had the opportunity to live in different times having been born in 1908, was one of the founders of the school and church and had much experience and wisdom, it was rewarding to hear him speak.

But is not always that possibility, at present has lost its respect and i many families, may be because they don’t have money. Older adults become a burden to the family and eventually die sad and alone in a senior center, they feel unhappy. They need love.

  1. Ohh so nice story! Mi grandfather lived for 99 year and around her life all time was so happy. He was a man sought always wanted to do physical activity. I think the secret for live more years consists in the live a healthy live. This means eat in the health way, make a exercises, be happy despite problems and livi and the quiet way.
    My grand father for example walked in the park all days and sit outside of the house and talk with the people that pass around the house.
    He enjoy all moments with yor family and when has diseases drinking natural juices.
    I want to live in the healthy live and I think the age is not important but the quality of life yes!
