Maybe it’s the fact they live 100 years, or the fact that he has almost the same kind of mannerisms as they do (walks slowly, takes time to answer questions, etc) … but turtles always remind me of my Grandpa, who today confessed to my Dad that he just wants to “leave” already. He always complains how his feet hurt, his breathing is getting slower, and he can’t do what he wants to do. 86 years old and still truckin’. Praying that he at least makes it to my college grad before he decides to “leave”. Love you Grampa!
