My mom is 82, my dad is 87. They live 500 km away from here. Until my dad was 75 he used to play soccer with some guys of his age. Until he was 85 he still played tennis (with 3 other friends). Ball games were his live. Then when some of the others started to be too old he has stopped too and has become very old since then because he sits in front of TV all the time watching -guess- soccer and tennis.

My mom still moves a lot. She goes for a walk with their dachshund Amber every day. Their house is close to the forest and there is a fenced-in part of the forest -so Amber can run as much as she wants. My mom is also very clever in her head and you'd never guess from the phone she's that old. When you look at her however she is very frail and has a heart condition.

I am very scared of what happens when either of them passes away. In the last years the one or the other had to go to hospital for some minor stuff and the other cannot sleep whan they're not together.
