What a crapshoot life is, some folks die in their 30s, 40s, others live past 100.

This takes me back to this woman 117, I think she lived in France, who caught COVID and survived it, saw her as she left the Hospital on TV, not in a wheelchair, no cane, standing up talking with the Media.

She’s my new Role Model!
