From Adele in Toronto: It
sparkles. Everyone on the show looked completely happy in one
another's company. Good to see a Toronto program that is, to me,
deliciously cosmopolitan and that also provides an invitation to learn.
As someone said, the 100 year olds don't want to live because all their friends and family are dead. Heavens! I'm only 71 and this is happening to me already! My younger (and only) brother is gone, my parents, of course, but also all my many aunts and uncles are dead, and half my cousins and half my friends are gone. How much longer before I have no one left? No matter how independent you are, you can't help missing all your loves ones. And I miss mine.
I enjoyed the show, especially the comment from the 100 year old senior who said she did not want to live to 120. I think, however, you got the message wrong. We want to **stay young until 120**. That's not the same as saying we want to live to 120. Don't confuse durability with longevity.
