My grandmother is 84 years old now and celebrated her last birthday 09th of April 2020. She is retired Elementary teacher and was teaching Grade 1 for almost 30 years. You know how hard and stressful teaching lower grades because you need to teach them how to read, write, add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers. She is my role model and I ddmire her a lot.
She is still active in doing her household chores. She was a former Senior Citizen President in our Barangay or Barrio and a Sunday School Teacher in our church. She has a healthy lifestyle and participative in her roles in the community and church as well.
When asked about her secret of a healthy life, her first answer was having a daily devotion or quiet time with God. I know that my grandmother is faithful to God. She had her journals and always put her ideas and all her learnings by writing those in her journals. Then, she seldom eats pork meats and fatty foods. Of course, vegetables and fruits are on her top priority. She always conscious on her health and avoided softdrinks and junk foods.
We are thankful for her life and for being a blessing to everyone. It is our prayer that God will give her more days to continue and fulfill her purpose.
