Oldest Somali woman turning 117, Tuulada Laan-Abeer, Gedo

[quark]

wow, i hope she gets all the help she can

[Advo]

one of my grandmas is over 100 years old, until few years ago her mind was sharp and the stories she told was out of this world but lately she reached that point where the body self-destructs and is pretty much gone. Walle it's amazing and sad at the same time, cimri dheer but caafi maad la'aan.

[Beenaale_No1]

So she was born in the 18th century.

To put into perspective she was alive when X-Rays were invented, first electronic washing machine was made, Scramble for Africa, WW1, WW2, African nations getting independence etc etc. and a billion of other things.

Shame there is no official records of her birth.

People back home( badiye people) have some kind of other dating sytem. The way they count the seasons and shyte makes 1 year into 2 years.

Wow. I just look at the pictures. Subxanallah. Strange how humans beings are weak when they enter the world and they need all kinds of support and same happens when they reach old age.

When I was 15 I used to say I am 15 but my mum would say no you are 16. Sanadkii 16aad baa ku boxsentey

At the time it made no f-king sense to me

She must have been really healthy to last that long, I'm not sure if I want to last that long.
