I doubt that as we age we want to be called
old, we much prefer the title
S enior
citizen.
T o be
honest no matter what you call an octogenarian or nonagenarian their mere
existence
H onors
those who are lucky enough to be in their presence
I t is not
about the length of their days that makes them special, it is the
S ense of
wisdom that they bring to conversations.
T he years
have provided them with enough time to reflect, to
H ope and to
understand that
E very
individual should be valued.
O f course
it helps that they can still
L augh with
us and at themselves otherwise life might seem
D ark and
lonely.
P lease
don’t dismiss their complaints because
E very ache
and pain is real. But as you listen to
them also allow them time to
R each into
their memories and share their
S tories
with you. You will find something that
O nly a good
story can teach and you will
N ot be
disappointed by spending the extra time listening.
D o let them
know how much we cherish them and how we know they will
A lways be
connected to us in mind and spirit even when they are no longer with us
physically.
Y ou too
will want to be honored in this manner when you grow OLD.
