 Old is Gold.

            
     
     Everyone goes through the white haired period of Life. Old age.

        I really feel strongly for those old souls out there whose children abondon them. AS if it's not enough that:
a) They've got to come to terms with them or their spouse dying.

b)  They have serious health problems.

c) They are lonely and long for a hug.

d) They are very much idle while the rest of the world is busy.

         No. This apparently is NOT enough. They are not given time or attention by their own folks. Everyone needs love,right? So why should they be the exception?

                               I have one simple request.
 
        Please spare a thought for the old. They've lead such brilliant wholesome lives and have set a great example for you. Please think about them. Everyone deserves to be happy, after all.

What a great, yet encouraging, article. I agree, they DO deserve a good ending.

This is a very nice post! So often people try to forget about them, or ignore them. But they have so much still to give and share!

I have a heart for old people! I was behind a lady in line yesterday that had to be helped to even get her things on the counter. She had to be asked for more money twice not hearing the amount they told her. It took her forever to dig out her money. I looked behind me and thought I caught a tinge of the next person being a little put out. TOO BAD!
I did wonder where this poor little lady's family was. I couldn't see how she could drive or drive that shopping cart. It's sad and your right. They hold keys to so many of lifes answers because they've lived it. Everyone would be kind and smart to stop and pay some attention to a little old person. We will all be there in time if we live that long. God bless the elders!
