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.

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. :up:

Shame there is no official records of her birth.

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.
