    Someday, far sooner than I’d like, I’ll look like that. I hope I can face it with the same dignity and sacrifice he’s demonstrated.

      Citizens look at 70 how he looks now at 99. Theres no way many of us are reaching that level of presence and health with the difference in healthcare hes seen and what we even have available to the public.

        I bet the most important factor in his healthcare is all the physical and mental exercise that he got from continuing to build houses for the underprivileged into his 90s.

          Unironically yes. He kept active and engaged, while not having to worry about laboring his health away and hardly making it to the next year while riddled in debt.
