Olive, rest in peace by Barbora Misakova

Once upon a time in the distant Australia lived one woman. At the beginning there was nothing special on her. She was born in a little city in the middle of nowhere in 1899. She had a normal childhood; then she met a man, fell in love and had three children she loved and brought up. Her name was Olive Riley and she was known by her friends as goodhearted and friendly persona. When I think about it, I would say she had just a normal, maybe from time to time even a bit boring life. Just like most of the living people these days. But those of you who think that life begins at the age of 17 and ends at the age of 50 are wrong. The life doesn’t end at the old age. On the contrary, sometimes it just begins. And this woman knows it and she was the brilliant example of it. Olive as 107-year-old woman started enjoying life by her own and in February 2007 she started blogging. As a woman who lived in three centuries she wrote about the world changes and differences. She knew what the word “war” means because she went through two world wars and lot of significant political turns. She was writing a lot about her childhood and the life we are living these days and she was doing it with a calm humor so typical for older people. Maybe that’s why lot of people around the world were reading her blogs, replying on them and what is more regularly communicating with her. She found lot of friends on the internet and she loved communicating with them. During her blogging carrier she wrote 74 blogs and so became the oldest blogger in the world. Olive, rest in peace.
