Reagan's longevity is one for the record books.
You know ... I don't imagine that anybody close to him really considers this something to quite celebrate. Probably feel a certain ambivalence, at best. Normally, yes, if he were healthy, but with what is reportedly fast-progressing Alzheimer's? Why would you want him to live longer? I loathe the man's policies and many of their results, and I wouldn't wish that on him.
