Longevity: What It's Like to Get There is a deeply personal reflection on aging, written not from theory, but from lived experience. At 96 years old, Douglas M. Gebbie offers a rare and honest perspective on the physical, emotional, and practical challenges that accompany advanced age. Unlike many books on aging written by younger authors or observers, this work speaks from within the experience itself—addressing loss, adaptation, resilience, and the quiet adjustments required as the years progress.
With clarity, humility, and insight shaped by both a long medical career and a long life, Gebbie reflects on what it means to continue living fully while navigating the limitations of aging. This book is not a manual, nor a lament, but a thoughtful companion for readers seeking understanding, perspective, and reassurance about growing older—from someone who is truly already there.

Ok in a pinch. Can get better shoes for the price. Wide aren’t wide
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black/Black
These were ok comfortable. Would have preferred at the price point to be a little more comfortable. For being a wide size, the shoe was rather tight on my feet. Quality is ok. It passed for the wedding. Would probably have taken more time to pick something different if I had the ability to. This was a last minute purchase.
