Tsuneyo Toyonaga, 113 years old, died yesterday from old age. Born in August 1894, she was the oldest living person in Japan. The last 12 years of her live were spent in a nursing home in Kochi Prefecture.
Wow, 113 is really old. The lady had five children, and I don't know if they are still alive, but if they are, they're probably in their 80s and 90s. I would feel extremely lucky to live until I'm 90, and even luckier if my mom was still alive then.
Rest in peace, Mrs. Toyonaga!
