The oldest person in the world

The oldest 117 years old woman in the world who is Japanese passed away.
May her soul Rest In Peace.
If I can live until 117 years old, now I have lived only less than half in my life. Seems uneasy rather than seems happy, I have mixed feelings about this.
Thanks to medical science progress, human being has come to be able to live longer. But if I can live longer, I might be not happy if I haven't healthy mind and body.
According to my mother's regular doctor, his grandfather started to learn English since 80 years old, and also French since 90 years old. So even if his body was weakened in its own way, his brain was clear until the end of his life with no exposure to dementia.
That's for sure ! I think I should continue learning English until the end of my life.
117歳の世界最長寿の女性がお亡くなりになられたそうです。
ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
もし私が117歳まで生きられるとしたら、まだ人生の半分を生きてないことになるんだわ〜。嬉しいような、むしろ怖いような、複雑な気持ちになりますね。
医学が発展のおかげで、人は長く生きられるようになりました。でも長生きできるとしたら心と体が元気でないと楽しくないかも。
母のかかりつけ医のお話によると、彼のお祖父様は80歳から英語の勉強を始めて、90歳から更にフランス語の勉強も始められたそうです。だから体はそれなりに衰えても認知症とは無縁で頭脳は死ぬまで元気だったそうです。
なるほど〜。やっぱり英語の勉強は一生続けよう！と思います。
