Your story is so inspirational - and I know the "pinch me" feeling so well. I still have it, every single day since becoming a writer, which means every day for 20 years now.
We have to figure out a way to share stories like yours, of people fulfilling their dreams even later in life. Just heard from a reader who became a published poet, at 70!

And - I think the other thing about looking ahead like this is - aged 94, we should be able to do the most amazing things, based on the information technologies and medical breakthroughs that are bringing the future racing ever-faster towards us right now. I wish my parents could have reached their 90s a few decades from now - especially my dad, who was a writer and story-lover who was just too early to have his passion for words unlocked by the Internet, as mine was. Again with the "embracing, not dreading, uncertainty" thing, but - even with so many challenges in the world, surely there is also so much to look forward to, if we're given the time to see it...
