These three close friends have known each other for a long time and celebrated their 100th birthdays this year, which was a true event.
The world was very different when the three best friends were born in Auburn, Maine, in 1919.
There was a 1.9% chance that a girl born in 1919 would live to be 100 years old.
One of them, Dot Murray, had vivid memories of the difficult years caused by the global economic depression of 1929-1930.
“In the early ’30s, times were tough, but we made it,” Murray said.
The three friends have different interests; for example, one of them loves reading and music. They also enjoy singing together as a group.
On their hundredth anniversary, Murray said, “I have no regrets. I continue to fulfill all my dreams as usual.”
A century later, three friends have some wise advice to offer.
They hope that people appreciate their time and pay attention to issues concerning the entire planet, such as climate change.
Murray urges accepting others as they are, showing tolerance. Their main advice was,
“Love one another, my dear. There is nothing more important than love and kindness.”
