She does NOT look 100 and amazingly still has all her mental faculties!

[@sam8374]

She is 26!

[@sallyphillips9175]

@@sam8374 Her grandmother is 100!

[@ericcarson342]

Yes, she is sharp. I don't what is harder, seeing parents lose their physical abilities or their mental abilities.

[@karthikkumaresan1091]

if the title tells her real age 85, you wont click it,, would you?

[@TaylorBell]

@@sam8374 hahahahah

[@immaresellit]

What a wholesome interview with your grandmother. She’s right, staying in contact with our families will have powerful long term benefits. And happy birthday to her🎉

[@TaylorBell]

Absolutely, hope my folks make it to 100 too! And thank you 😊

[@Elizabeth-hv4po]

Whats crazy is she seems to have more energy than some people I know in their 20s. Wishing her more health and memories with you an your family!

[@danielj3010]

100%! Passion for living.

[@codedestroy680]

Wow for 100 she looks great and her mental clarity is incredible what a great interview.

[@MONEYswimmer200FLY]

My grandma is 86 and still so healthy physically and mentally I realy hope she lives to 100!

[@russellnewberry4274]

There’s something about that southern Kentucky accent that makes it impossible to be stressed out in her presence.😊

[@SpaseRistov]

Amazing interview Taylor. ❤ So many things to take home... But, the ones I want to highlight: 1. No Cigarettes 2. No alcohol 3. 8 hours of sleep (22:00-06:00) 4. Family first 5. Social life 6. Education 7. Money is not everything, but it's a necessity 😊

I hope this is only part one..... Very enjoyable. This is what they mean when they say "make America great again".The greatest generation of our time!!!

[@NormanF62]

Taylor, preserving family memories used to be impossible but your grandmother will always be alive even after she’s gone. None of us can overcome human mortality and now the still the important things about those we love can be preserved for posterity. Thank you for the video - well done! ❤😊

[@Nidia_S]

Your grandmother is beautiful!! What a beautiful blessing to be 100! 🎉😊

[@alokdas9113]

Hii I love you ♥️♥️ from India how are you

[@sadiebowman2682]

I absolutely loved this interview, Taylor! As a history teacher, I love to hear historical stories from those who lived them rather than just read what happened in a book. You're very lucky to have a wealth of knowledge just a phone call away.

[@DreamingRealist]

Goodness, besides that she looks 20 years younger than her age, I love her vibe and attitude about life. What an amazing woman.

[@TaylorBell]

Well said. Thank you so much

[@tsm7964]

I love this video! I hope you keep interviewing her at least once a year or so. And now we know how you got to be such a great person. (One of my father's 96 year old associates still has 20-20 vision, which I think is amazing. His secret is that he loves baking as a hobby and doesn't watch TV or movies. )

[@tsm7964]

update: my fathers 96 year old associate is also from Kentucky! wow.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Love this! My grandpa lived to 102 and I wish I had interviewed him on video. So special to have! He was just like your mom (grandma) super sharp and with it! Loved her interview!

[@caitlinhoey841]

So sweet! She’s a great grandmom! My grandmom is 97 (she actually just fell recently and got two black eyes from hitting her head on a table, and she still refuses to move in with us) I’m glad your grandmom is safe, happy, and healthy. Thanks for sharing the interview, Taylor!

[@TaylorBell]

Aw i'm so sorry to hear that, I hope she recovers quickly!!! All the best to you and her!!

[@caitlinhoey841]

@@TaylorBell thanks, my mom went to visit her yesterday, and she's healing slowly but surely. Have a great day, Taylor. P.S. I went to Penn too, but for my master's degree at GSE. Go Quakers! :)

[@KaitiYoo]

what a BEAUTIFUL VIDEO. I love MOM!!!!!

[@TaylorBell]

THANKS GORL. She'd love you too

[@rahulthaker5334]

She is so sharp and attentive at this age! Its phenomenal. No wonder how you got this genes 🧬 Kudos Taylor.

[@Banjalucanka]

I really wish this interview was longer. She has some amazing gems to share. Love this ❤

[@plana2060]

Beautiful grandmother... God bless

[@Entername-md1ev]

100 years what a milestone! Your grandma is amazing and I can tell she has had a major influence on your personality and values too ❤ my takeaways from grandma’s wealth of knowledge is that: 1. Relationships are the most important things in life (getting along and spending time with family, friends, and your partner is key) 2. Money is only an asset (it’s necessary to live a good life but life isn’t always about money) 3. Develop good habits while still young (don’t smoke, limit drinking, have a glass half full mentality and get enough rest) I think all millennials and Gen Z can take a lot away from that as things they can improve on

[@user-id1xg3ut5w]

Glory to God, she's growing gracefully, watching from Uganda 🇺🇬

[@christopherbucher7017]

Holy cow! Hope I'm in half as good condition when I'm her age. Blessings to both of you.

[@TaylorBell]

Seriously, she's incredible. Thanks so much

[@AlexNexton]

This was so beautiful and something you will cherish more than you know in the future. Please tell your Gran that she is a remarkable woman and has no doubt touch the hearts of many and will continue to ever more here. 💜 sending love to Harold too

[@247Me]

I Love this video a lot. I'm 34 years old and I have been appreciating the wisdom of old people since my teenage ❤ Gather as much wisdom as possible. Take Care 😉

[@PeterSunnnn]

The elders possess geart widsom through their experience of daily life. It helpful for us to listen them more.

[@fovourite4633]

ohh thanks for this podcast. I take inspiration from your grandma. She’s so beautiful 😍 ❤

[@jwdc7784]

Mom is a treasure - sharp beyond measure. How incredible her life stories of experiences must be. Cheers to her!

[@therealhannahlee]

Aw Taylor, I loved this so much! I’m from Southwestern Virginia about 15 miles from the Kentucky border, and her accent and experiences remind me so much of my grandparents. My great uncle and my best friend both went to Berea College as well! I’ve visited several times. It’s a beautiful campus and town!

[@TaylorBell]

Wowww small world! And so glad you enjoyed 🥹

[@alokdas9113]

Hii how are you I am from India

[@ollieroger3032]

Great interview. Lot of wisdom right here. I also like how Mom says years.....19 and 50, 19 and 80.....my grandparents phrased the same way. Salt of the Earth.

Just lost my grandpa this week. He was 103. Always a good idea to record all the questions you have for her. Thanks for the vid!

[@TaylorBell]

Awww I'm so sorry for your loss, but amazing he lived such a long life

[@eavanmages9961]

So lovely. My own mum is 95 soon and non verbal now. Wish we had a historic video like this❤️

[@KnordRW]

You are so blessed to still have your grandmother at 100! She is amazing and definitely still sharp! Both of my maternal grandparents would have been 100 last year were they still with us. My grandmother passed in 1999, and my grandfather passed in 2020.

[@ko_grindz]

Good to hear that your grandma is in great condition. God bless

[@williamthach7]

Now this is the type of content I’m expecting from full time creator Taylor! Can we please get more videos with mom? 🥺👉👈 I think expanding on the technological change question would make a great video! It would be so interesting to hear more about technological advancements from her point of view. OR literally any other topic from the video! I’ll just be here…patiently waiting :)

[@victoriamyst4742]

What a wonderful woman, your grandmother. You’re beyond lucky to still have her around; I miss both my grandmothers terribly. Thank you for sharing her story and her wisdom🥰

[@alokdas9113]

Hii how are you ♥️♥️ from India

[@requisitewhim]

What an inspiration! I've asked all my grandparents what was the most unbelieveable thing they've seen happen in their lifetime, and they all said airplanes. I wonder how we'll answer this question when we're their age.

[@drjaye1962]

Wow much love, she’s great…peace

[@juuliathetwin]

Wow, your grandma, what a person! She is 100 years old, very pretty, and even after 100 years she still shares amazing values for today's world, what a value to have such a person around:) I didn't want to mention but I have to - I'm a bit jealous of that ;) Greetings from Poland and Wishing the best for her & you! And waiting for more content!!!! tuuurtle ouuut

[@youssoufsaadikaminedahirou8118]

Waaoohhhh soo happy to see my dear hope your doing good it's a blessing being with grandma up too 100s

[@erinsteffe]

My siblings and I have always called our maternal grandmother "Mom", because I couldn't say "grandma" when I was younger. You're the only other person I've heard call their maternal grandmother "Mom" -- love it!

[@hustlesprouts]

Great idea for a video 😊 I personally liked mom's answer to your question at 13:27 she is very sweet. ps im suddenly feeling more upright, gracious and kind

[@atrujillo9311]

6:45 - "I loved him dearly and I still do" 🥲

What a fantastic video, She looks amazing for 100! with such a fantastic outlook and perspective on life. Kinda sad we didn't see Grandma in THE sunglasses though, Hahaha

[@toraibo5919]

Hey Taylor, while my grandpa is fighting for his life at the moment, this really got to me. This gotta be one of your greatest videos so far, you truly provide great inspiration, give this platform a meaning and make the life of so many people all over the world a bit better and more fun. Keep on keepin' on, I am very much looking foward to further videos, lots of love from Copenhagen, Denmark. :) Stay as you are and life will be gracious to you, I am sure.

[@TaylorBell]

This comment means so so much to me, and I truly send my best wishes to you and your grandpa. Thank you so very much 💜

[@KevinMMiller]

I loved that you called her "Mom", but she's actually your Grandmother, I had a "Nanna", when I was younger, but she was the wife of the man that delivered me into the world, also I thought it was enlightening that the 50's was her favorite decade, great interview!!!

[@tombuckley4070]

This is simply the best!!! Part two a MUST!!!

[@hakimahussaini4907]

yes, I want a part two to this as well :)

[@nbb-m2232]

My grandma lived to be 102 1/2 years old and was still pretty sharp and playing cards and doing art till a few months till she passed away! She also did stained glass windows and taught me how to do them too and she taught me how to play cards too! I’ve always wanted to interview my grandma about all the life experience and world events that she lived through but never did…

[@gaminganimate4442]

I hope your grandma is doing well Taylor :)

Aaaaw I loved this Taylor. I smiled all the way through it and I'm still smiling. 'Mom' is such a sweetheart and what a blessing that she is still sharp, articulate and can still remember so much of her life at 100 years of age. Her priorities of love and family, her happiness with life and her positive nature are definitely keeping her going strong. I could listen to that beautiful accent all day long and never tire of it ❤ Let's have this gracious lady back for an update soon x
