Answer 1

You can't estimate a death date. When a doctor tells a patient with cancer he has six months to live, the doctor is only making an educated guess based on how long other patients with the same cancer lived. However, people beat the odds every day. There really is no reason why one person lives and another dies. If you love your grandfather as you say, just enjoy the days you have with him.

Answer 2

Sounds like you have a bet with someone on him my Friend, he could outlive you.
