Every step seemed tiring, and every step was another to survive. As I looked up into the sky I thought about how my grandmother had left me, and my anger began to return. I was annoyed by the loss, and my belief in God was beginning to fade. I couldnt understand why these things happened. So as I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Arent we supposed to get signs from the people that pass on? Why did I not feel her presence anymore? Is there a heaven?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window and distracted my unanswered thoughts. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. The thought of having to say where my car was seemed like too much to bear. “No, excuse me,” she said again.At this point, I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. As I got closer, I was startledwas this my grandmothers nurse, Adu, who lived with her during her final months? I soon realized that she wasnt, although the resemblance was unusual. Then, I realized that this Adu was searching for something in her bag. Surprisingly, I was overcome by a sense of relief that led me to be patient the entire time the lady was searching. Others would be nervous by a stranger reaching in their bag, but I wasnt. She finally reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like you need this,” she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used booklet and on the front cover in big bold letters read “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?”It took me only a few seconds to comprehend the exchange with this woman, but by the time I looked up, she was gone.I walked slowly into my car holding the tiny little book that was given to me with fear that it would fly away in the wind. I didnt know what it was exactly, but I knew that if my grandmother had anything to do with that I didnt want to let it go.I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page. It explained how people pass on, but their spirit remains with us. This was the first time since my grandma had passed that I felt her with me, just like I had wanted. I didnt know whether to laugh or cry, but I did know that I finally felt happiness from the surprising change in events.I couldnt, and still cant, believe what had happened to me on that day. I dont remember the specific details that you usually hear about like what the person was wearing, the time of day, or even the weather, but it doesnt matter. It was a random day in November when my life turned back around and I began to feel hope again. It was real. It was a miracle. And, Ill remember it for the rest of my life.59.

Now, two studies published this month attempt to better define the ideal weight for fitness and longevity for adults over age 60.The main point is that you dont need to worry about being slightly overweight, as long as that extra weight is maintained at a consistent level. However, being very overweight is detrimental to health, and exercising to lose body fat and to gain muscle mass is always beneficial.Determining the ideal weight for older people has been a pursuit, with researchers looking for what weight is not too thin, but not too fat. Studies have suggested that being slightly overweight can be protective. For example, a 2001 study by researchers at Yale University found that moderately overweight senior adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 two points higher than the BMI of 25 that defines being overweight lived longer than seniors who were either thinner or heavier. Theres a fine line here
