HelpYears of your life Game- Part 9(81-90 years)
Congrats! Just one more part to go, and we are done with our game! Now being an elder, you can invent other situations to fit your age or something like that, if you are included in the situation. If you have already retired, you can roll again if you roll something dealing with a job.

And here's the die: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm
If you roll for children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren/etc., roll this to determine how many there will be. Roll more than once if you want. Other children can be born later on, too. This is optional!
1: No children
2: One child
3: Two children
4: Three children
5: Four children
6: Five children, or more(up to 12)
---
And to determine genders, use this:
1: Boy
2: Girl
You decide whether any children are adopted or not. If they are, then use the name section to choose their name(s). You can also use the naming section for family and friends, including new family members(children, spouses, etc.).
You can also use the naming section throughout the entire game!
---
You can use this to determine what any spouses or any people dating anyone in your family look like first(for those unmarried and single), but if any children are adopted, then you can use this. You can add other things too(freckles, moles, etc.). Friends also count.
---

Eye color:
1-5: Brown
6-8: Blue
9-10: Grey/Hazel

---
Roll a 10-sided dice to see who children look more like. Use this for each appearance category. If they have siblings, use this for them too. Any identical siblings BOTH look exactly like what you've rolled, meaning that they don't have different appearances.
1-5: They look more like mom
6-10: They look more like dad
---
Use this to create names!
1: A name from literature

Year 81: I start donating money to treating cancer since my husband John has cancer. Also, my grandchild Lilac has a daughter. They named it Athena Lilac.
Year 82: Some of my children are fighting a lot. I don’t know why. It’s quite annoying.
Year 83: I am in another movie! Just as an extra! Also, my sister Mia died this year. I am very upset. She was probably the sister closest to me.
Year 84: My grandchild Jude gets married to a famous Olympian from Ireland. Also Lilac has a son named Xavier Aubrey.
Year 85: I pick up a new hobby. Photography! I love taking pictures of all my family.
Year 86: John is in the hospital. He needs help because of his cancer. He is not doing so well.
Year 87: Jude has a baby boy! They named him Walter Kieran. Also, John dies this year. I am so very sad and so are all the kids. It’s so heartbreaking for me.
Year 88: I went to a concert this year with some of my kids! We went to my favorite singer. We had a blast! I had so much fun. I won’t ever forget that.
Year 89: I get three new grandkids this year! Jude has twin girls! Beatrix Janelle and Brigit Juniper. Also, Harley has a daughter this year! They named her Victoria Kyleigh. I love seeing my great grandchildren!
Year 90: I reconnect with my old friend Sage. We liked hanging out with some of our kids, grandkids, even a few great grandchildren came along for this “party, get-together, hang-out” sort of thing. We did it at my house since I had a big one, since I had six kids . Also, since I live alone now, I got myself a cat! I named it Honey.

Radclyffe family
YEAR 81 Betony, who still enjoys playing chess, enters a non-professionals contest and wins. She is awarded $5,000!
YEAR 82 Ender decides to learn French, but doesn’t keep up with it. He says there were too many letters that you don’t even pronounce and he can’t be bothered with that at his age.
YEAR 83 Tristan and his husband get divorced. They didn’t have any children, so thankfully there were no kids to be hurt by their parting ways.
YEAR 84 Ender tries out a new hobby, baking, after one of his grandkids convinces (bribes) him into watching Great British Bake Off and he actually enjoys it. Gareth can’t say he’s disappointed at all of the cakes, pastries, and cookies in the house and encourages Ender to keep it up (while simultaneously encouraging them both to go walking a bit more).
YEAR 85 Gareth is in the hospital! He fell on the ice while walking to his car and broke his hip and wrist. Everyone is hoping he recovers quickly and Ender is worried about him.
YEAR 86 While Gareth recovers, Ender is reading a lot more as he sits by his bedside and also reads to him. They’re having fun with science fiction lately and just enjoyed Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
YEAR 87 Gareth is told the bad news that his lung cancer is back. They’re going to check to see if it has spread anywhere else.
YEAR 88 Gareth’s cancer did spread and he just entered hospice. It’s a very hard time for the whole family while they say goodbye.
YEAR 89 Tristan moves in with Ender temporarily after Gareth passes away as he needs emotional and practical support.
YEAR 90 The Radclyffes have a big reunion and Ender can’t help but feel the loss of Gareth even more strongly. He tries to take comfort in the presence of all of his family around him and their love.
