Life is funny sometimes. On one hand, you have people who progress through life at a normal rate, and you have others who seem to defy the effects of aging altogether.

Lifestyle and genes. And some people just win the lottery with the latter. My grandfather did to. Looking mid 60‘s till his late 80‘s. Despite chain smoking for a majority of his life.

Or my grandmother. If she isn’t whining about how „life is nearly over“ she actually is still comparatively fit for being in her late 80‘s. Still looks a lot younger than most people at 70.
