Today, we honor two great supercentenarians. Jiroemon Kimura, the oldest validated man in history who was born on this day (April 19th), and Kane Tanaka, the 2nd oldest validated woman in history, who died on this day.ย 

The memories will carry on forever, and you will remain in our minds.

Kane Tanaka was the WOLP at the time that I began my interest in Supercentenarians.ย 

Rest in Peace

Two marvellous outliers SCs. We miss both a lot.

May they rest in peace.

It was highly symbolic that Tanaka turned 110 when Kimura was still alive and died on what would have been Kimura's 125th birthday.

May they both RIP. Sex-adjusted, their ages were comparable to each other's. And they were both from Japan. And both claimed to be slightly older than their official ages.

Taking a moment to remember Jiroemon Kimura, who died 12 years ago today, 12 June 2013. (It's still 12 June where I am as of the time I typed this)

Be kind to everyone. Treat everyone like they're your own family. Don't judge others. Accept everyone for who they are regardless of what they do or look like.
