I've told my wife that after 70, I just died of old age.

When Robert Redford died, they said cause of death was not released. We was 89 freaking years old!!
Don’t know a single person with “old age” listed as the cause of death…lol

You’re still a young buck at 70.
My father and grandfather made to 88.
Mom still lives on her own at 88. Grandmother and great grandmother made it to 95. FIL made it to 101. Mrs. Dingbat’s grandmother was 102.

I was adopted so I have not family history.
But I’m ready when my time comes when ever that may be. My only fear is becoming a burden on my family.

Ditto on the burden thing.

Mom was adopted as well so didn't know about my Gma until after mom passed. Paternal grampa adopted as well.

Maternal side .

Grandma 57
Mom 59
Brother 57

I hope to make it to 70....
Be the one to break the trend…..

Something similar in my great aunt’s family. Offspring one and three passed in their late 50’s. Offspring two and four are now in their late 60’s and still in good health

The anomaly on my maternal side is that three family members were killed by trains. Needless to say, we avoid trains like the plague…lol
