Age is just a number, they say. Yet the vast majority of humanity is hooked on anti-aging skincare, anti-aging lifestyles, anti-aging everything. In fact, a survey has previously shown that a whopping 87% have a fear of getting old, also known as FOGO. Feeling anxious about wearing out before the warranty is something not entirely new to most people, but for many, the reservations revolve more around the outside rather than the inside.

#29 My 74-Year-Old Grandpa With COPD And I On A Roller Coaster. He Was So Excited

This picture is about a year old. My grandpa really wanted to go on the ride, told us he hadn’t been in so many years. The elderly man operating the coaster understood that and let us on. I’m squeezing the oxygen on the side so it didn’t slip. My gramps laughed the entire trip!
