It is now only 5 days until I turn 80 (as they say, God willing). Time to look at family history. Is there anything that can be learned?
My father died at 75.
My mother died at 73.
My sister, sadly, at 49.
My mother’s one sister died at 84.
My father’s 7 siblings, died at 63, 65, 67, 75, 90, 90, 101
My mother’s parents were 66 and 79
My father’s parents were 69 and 99 (just before 100)
The average: 76.4
The average of those who lived to 80: 92.8
Is there anything to be learned from this?
Absolutely, nothing. Thanks for listening.
