Amazing Grandfathers
We all love our grandpas and that’s the truth, Ruth! They always have a story to tell and if you listen patiently, you might even get a piece of candy. Their stories can teach us a lot but also be inspiring. My grandpa taught me how to swim when I was very young. I remember us taking our bicycles to a river that looked quite intimidating at the time. Afterwards we went to a little shop and he bought me an ice-cream. It was a wonderful day that I will always cherish.
Grandpa Kelley’s inspiring story is one for the ages. The man was having his 102 birthday, after all! And this was no conventional, run-of-the-mill birthday dinner. No sir! Grandpa Kelley and his family went boating on a lake. Everybody was having fun frolicking in the water around the boat. Mister Kelley thought that all of that swimming around looked like a lot of fun. So why not try it?
102 Year Old Expert Swimmer
Grandpa Kelley, with the help of his grandson John Kelley, approaches the side of the boat. Without a moment of hesitation, he expertly jumps into the lake and swims around. Looking at the video after he jumps, you would think he is a young man in the prime of his life. Full of vigor and life, and if I might say so myself, an impeccable swimming technique! Over to you, Phelps!
His family is so surprised they all start exclaiming with admiration. The inspiring grandpa is turning 102 today! And yet, jumping in that lake, he looks no older than 40. John Kelley and the rest of the family must be proud to have such a man be the head of the clan. Grandpa Kelley and his inspiring story should teach us to always stay young in our mind and the body will follow.
Inspiring Story
Just like they say: age is just a number. Your body is a well- oiled machine… although we lose a lot of that oil as we grow old. Still, throw in some green veggies, yoga and some meditation and you too might live to be 102 and jumping off boats.
Can your grandpa even walk straight without using any kind of support? Well, kudos to him if the answer is yes, but this grandpa not only jumps from boats but he can also swim. This is an amazing testament to the wonders and joy that our older family members can bring to us. We hope he gets to live many more years and inspire those great-great-grandchildren!
