I do not have any living male ancestor but this guy.

My father and both of my grandfathers died, but my great grandfather doesn't plan to leave this life soon.
Yesterday, my little cousin had a first Communion. And my great grandfather was one of guests. We celebrated his hundredth birthday last year. But there is something strange with his age. The church files say that he was baptized in 1916. His father died in World War I, in 1918. But the great grandfather claims that he remembers his father. How could he remember his father if he had only two years when hi father died? There wasn't any legal documents about birth of my great grandfather, only church documents. That's why we believe that he was baptized when he already had two or three years. And that means that he is older than hundred now.

So, this is him. In our family we call him Papa Smurf!

He spent his youth working at the shipyard. When he was around forty years old, he suffered a heavy head injury on his work and spent few months in coma. So he got a large pension from the state and he didn't work again in his life. My grandma remembers how she was helping him to start to walk and talk after the accident.

This is him with his daughter, my grandma.

He has six living children, 17 grandchildren, 38 great grandchildren, of which I am the oldest one. He was driving a bicycle until two years ago, when his sight started to fail him. When they ask him how he managed to live so long, he would say that it's all in fried sardines and in two glasses of red vine every day.

Here is the photo of him with my mom and uncle.

If everything will be fine, for two months he will become a great great grandfather! A legendary selfie with me:

Stay well, great grandfather! Live another 100!

Thank you!
