00:00A woman in Florida celebrated her 103rd birthday.

00:10She was born in 1918.

00:13She says, it flew by.

00:15I bet.

00:17Here's her story now from WESH 2 News.

00:21Take a listen.

00:22...in a shady spot.

00:23Well, inside, appropriately arranged cupcakes for the guest of honor.

00:27I know you noticed the cupcakes. You ready for one of those?

00:30Oh, yeah.

00:33A celebration of Lorraine Englehart.

00:36Mayor of Altman Springs also dropped by to honor the mother of 4, grandmother of 12, great-grandma to 24, and great-great-grandmother of 10.

00:46Hereby wish Lorraine Englehart a very happy 103rd birthday

00:51and hope that she may continue to enjoy quality time with her family, friends, and this community for many more years.

00:59Why do old women look like they're just ready to cry at any second?

01:02Well, look like she was ready.

01:03Yeah.

01:04I think it was just hard.

01:05I think that's just how she is.

01:06Yeah.

01:07But she's, I don't know, she laughs after everything she says.

01:11Yeah, she's like, oh, it's terrible that death was right around the corner.

01:18I sewed my whole life to cover up the pain.

01:23That's horrible.

01:25Maybe she misses sewing, but she can't sew.

01:27Maybe.

01:28Oh, that's probably it.

01:29She's got those, she's got photo albums of it, you know?

01:32Yeah, yeah.

01:33It was really important to her.

01:34Yeah, but you can't actually do it anymore.

01:35Maybe that made her emotional.

01:36Right.

01:37Oh, God.

01:38That just made me a lot more sad.

01:40Yeah, I know.

01:41Yeah.

01:42Oh, look at these cars.

01:43They put a stupid hat on me.

01:46You know, that's for a change.

01:48Because they're sprawled out all over.

01:51You know, you've really reached a milestone birthday when the birthday card given to you

01:56by fellow residents and staff has to be amended to reflect your actual life.

02:01She's probably crying because she's still alive, right?

02:03Yeah, I don't know any of that.

02:05And in.

02:06I don't know any of these people.

02:07I didn't want to be 100.

02:09I didn't want to be 89.

02:10I didn't want to be 88.

02:12I definitely didn't want to be 87.

02:15I can't wait to die.

02:17I remember a time when I was like, there's no way I want to be 74 years old.

02:22Think about it.

02:24That was 30 years ago.

02:26My God.

02:27And me saying it went by in a flash, that's a bunch of BS.

02:34Yeah, that's just a lie to make you feel better about your time on this earth.

02:38Come in here and give me a little party party.

02:41Put a little dumb hat on me and bring the news.

02:44She was born so long ago, they don't know the exact date.

02:47Look at this.

02:48Born July 23rd or 24th, 1918.

02:51Oh my gosh.

02:52I don't know.

02:53Is that a record of it?

02:54Nobody knows.

02:55One of those days.

02:56It's my birthday.

02:57That is the craziest thing.

03:02They hadn't invented records yet.

03:07That guy scribbled a bit.

03:09You couldn't really tell.

03:11A century of memories he has right there.

03:14That's like a whole book of memories.

03:17You made 500 quilts.

03:19Yeah.

03:20I wouldn't say it's a century.

03:2225 pages.

03:24That's all I remember.

03:26Oh man.

03:27I couldn't tell you what happened.

03:29Imagine.

03:30Can you just imagine how much you'd hurt at 103?

03:33Oh my God.

03:34I can't.

03:35At this age, you get lower back pain and shoulders.

03:37Oh my God.

03:38Is that like 103?

03:39I don't know.

03:40Because every year the pains get more and more and more.

03:43Like I need 103 years.

03:45I feel like I just make that noise all the time.

03:48Just Lorraine, do you like your little light birthday hat that you got on?

03:52It's excruciatingly painful the way that the thing is wrapped around the bottom of my chin

03:58and it's cutting into the blood vessels.

04:00That's because it's designed for a child.

04:03It's excruciating.

04:04And they put it on your head.

04:05It's excruciating.

04:06Look at it.

04:07It's cutting off the circulation.

04:09Thanks for the cards.

04:12It's excruciating.

04:14She just says that over and over.

04:16Yeah.

04:17Yeah.

04:18It's excru...

04:19How's your day?

04:20It's excruciatingly painful.

04:22I'm stuck in a wheelchair.

04:24It hurts.

04:25I woke up today.

04:27Aches and pains.

04:28How'd you feel?

04:29Awful.

04:30Terrible.

04:31I wasn't happy about waking up.

04:33It would be something to just be like, again.

04:35Yeah.

04:36Because you open your eyes and you're like, no!

04:38Right.

04:39Yeah.

04:40When will it end?

04:42After life, after life, after life, after life.

04:46Are you trying to lucid dream?

04:48Yeah, I was hoping I wasn't here again.

04:50I get it.

04:52But I am.

04:53I get it.

04:54Oh, man.

04:56Oh, wow.

04:57We have a way of taking really heartwarming stories.

05:00Yeah.

05:01You know, you gotta be real.

05:03That's so old, though.

05:04Oh, my God.

05:05That's so old.

05:06That's so old.

05:07Crazy, crazy old.

05:08You know, and a lot of them, listen, you know, a lot of these things, they shock me at

05:12how well the person's still doing, right?

05:15Yeah.

05:16To me, that's doesn't appear to be how I'd want to be.

05:22Yeah.

05:23Rocking it out.

05:24I'd be like, wheel me off this cliff.

05:26Yeah.

05:27She survived COVID, you know?

05:28Yeah.

05:29She's like, somebody cough on me.

05:31Well, yeah.

05:32Yeah, exactly.

05:33Why can't we get it here?

05:34God.

05:36My goodness.

05:37I've been licking everything I could see.

05:39Oh, turns out it was in the air.

05:44It's in the air.

05:45It's in the air.

05:46And I was like, no vaccine.

05:47No.

05:48No.

05:49Oh, my God.

05:50They gave it to me.

05:51Oh, man.

05:52They said it's working great.

05:54You probably think at like 100, you're like, there's absolutely no way there's any more.

06:00Three more.

06:01Three more.

06:02Yeah.

06:04That's insane.

06:05Doesn't seem like it's a fun thing to get to 103.

06:08It's good for her family.

06:09Yeah.

06:10Sure.

06:11They have her around still.

06:12They may be gone.

06:13They may all be gone.

06:14I didn't think about that.

06:15You don't know.

06:16No, you don't.

06:17I didn't see any of them there.

06:18Nope.

06:19Talking for her.

06:20The mayor's got to have some kids or something.

06:21Someone there.

06:22I don't know.

06:23And if they were eight, they could have died by 80 and they're gone.

06:25That's true.

06:26Oh my gosh.

06:27I didn't think of that.

06:28Just nuts.

06:29Everybody I know is gone.

06:30She's outlived everyone probably.

06:31Everybody I know is gone three times over.

06:33Made them.

06:34Made friends again and they all died.

06:35My grandkids are dead.

06:36Oh my God.

06:37Jesus.
