That reminds me of my grandmother as well. She passed away a few years ago while rapidly closing in on her 99th birthday. For about 15-20 years she underwent many major health crises and each time everyone was preparing for the worst, but she was like the energizer bunny.the Pope reminds me of my grandfather, who is also Polish and born the same year as the Pope. For about 10 years my mom would say ānow be extra good to grandpa when we see him this summer because it may be the last time we ever see himā Well heās still around! Though my grandpa is in alot better shape than the Pope, poor guy.
