Grandson takes his Grandma Joy to all National Parks

[Retired Engineer Bob]

They have made it to 49/61 before COVID. Talk about a road trip. I originally heard about this couple on NPR.

My dad passed on 12/23/2019, grandma (aged 104) on 1/14/2020. It was a bad couple of weeks.

2. Gosh she looks fabulous at 104 and sharp as a tack!

3. Sorry for the confusion

My grandma was 104, but she is not the grandma Joy in the article. Grandma Joy is in her 90’s in when she started her road trip.

5. No need for apology. Sorry for your loss. Must have been a terribly tough time

to lose 2 loved ones in the space of 3 weeks.

Grandma in video, still pretty remarkable to undertake such an adventure at 90. Hope I have half that energy if I make it to 90.

6. She also looked wonderful for her age. How lucky you and your family were to have her.

7. Thanks for your kind words

She was active and healthy up to the last year, and the sweetest person I have ever met. She had a full life.

Wasn’t long after she passed that COVID kicked in. I did ok working from home for a year, but became more and more burned out. I’m down to working about 4 hours per week.
