It is a beautiful story of family love and longevity. Vivian Dahl, centenarian from Minnesota, had the unique opportunity to celebrate her 100th birthday with her great-great-granddaughter Eloise, who was born exactly 99 years after her. Despite their age gap of nearly a century, these two family members celebrated their special day together, surrounded by their loving family.

It’s rare to see people live long enough to meet their great-great-grandchildren, let alone share the same birthday with one of them. Vivian therefore experienced a historic moment in her life and had the opportunity to share her secret to longevity: avoiding tobacco, alcohol and sweets.

It’s a story that reminds us of the importance of cherishing our elders and celebrating with them for as long as we are lucky enough to have them with us. It is certain that this anniversary celebration will live long in the memories of all who attended.

We wish Vivian and Eloise many more happy birthdays to celebrate together. And we share this touching story hoping it will brighten your day as much as it has brightened ours.
