Do you know an old person? Why is that person important?

YEah, that's why i'm always closer to my frenz.. lol =D And i think it's due to my maturity, i tend to mix well with them, and thus we share and learn from each other..

well..in your cases, you seem to be more mature with lot of pondering the way different from your peers as you have set your own beliefs never to be dictate by other influences..

hi kun, well..even though you have no older relatives other than your parents you could still rely on your old friends for advices as they have wisdom.. though, it is still best to use you own judgment in any decisions you need to undergo in life..

hi lichee china, The old person you know is your math teacher and it is a great things she taught you not only math but other values to guide you to see life beyond the confinement of schools. Though, with her traits it inspires you to become a good student and then even though you already finish your time of study. Your teacher magnificent teaching is still remember by you which only means she is an effective teacher as you retain in your mind her teaching thus it also make you guided properly able to differentiate the right versus wrong doing. thanks.

hi letran, good for you as you find math as easy to learn while i totally hate math.. yup..teacher serves as the ultimate instrument which could either motivate a students to study hard it could either make him or break him depending on the way they are treated well by the teacher.

wow, i wish i had a math teacher i could consider important to me. although there was this math teacher that i had trouble learning from subject before but after going to college i appreciate the things she taught me because that day i became ace in my math during my freshman years

that is wonderful. god bless.

God bless too. have a nice day1

hi antiquelady, Yup, and do make every day a very cheerful one that I make sure they are all happy and really treasure too every gathering they are given recognition from their grandchildren entertain them with their dancing and singing. We also make make sure that my grandparents receive all the love, care and attention giving them lots of affection. Also, make sure they are not given any worries but their days are spent in quality time with the family.

hi koalapenguin, Well, grandma treatment would always be different from the way they treat your parents as I do observe too they love more their grandchildren as their daughter and son grow old their attention gradually diminish and they focus on the care of their grandchildren. The important is still she care and recognize you even though she have another favorites your love for her still greatly appreciated.

Yup.. Love could unite and break out boundaries!

Yes. and it really doesn't matter whose gonna be her favorite. The important thing is, she loves us all and we love her so much!

hi vandana, Well, lot of elderly are very gentle though some are grumpy and easily lost their temper still exist those older people who have a good demeanor which I really admire for their wit and wisdom continue to amuse me as one could still learn a lot of good things from them. thanks.

And though my father is 75 years old, I think he is quite young. :)

hi baluyadav, Yeah, and i do believe as long as our grandparents are still alive need to take care of them and show all respect and affection. Then, it is also good to see that the youngster see how we properly treat the older person with respect that they would soon imitate and when the times that we become old they would also show the same things.It would be a good feeling being respected that though in the middle of weaknesses, and a threat of dying facing a lot of illnesses. Their are compassion that worries about who going to care for us is eliminated as the closer relatives would be the one to take instead of being brought to the home for the aged. it is good to grow old in a house with the beloved surround us. thanks

Hi,friend,that's true,in this regard we are lucky in India.The joint family system enable us strong both psychologically and financially,i hope at least for few years,as the system of growing nucleus familes system invetibily due to jobs..

That a very good samples as you reiterate and i admire you society strong bonding greatly concern with the welfare of the older person. Thus, when your time to be old you would never feel being neglected or at worst being worthless as you could rely in a family member to take good care of you. have a great day!

yup my daughter is my care giver if I have had an operation and will be as I grow older. soon be 70 !

hi lakota, Almost everyone have older companion in the house and even the young today could also become old someday. Though, a lot of respect, love, care and affection should be given to them as a payback time the way they care for us. thanks.

hi jezzmay, Taking care of an old person should never be call as a burden but a way to give back our sincerest gratitude to thanks older person who been an important instrument in every one lives. Parents appreciate children who know to reciprocate the sacrifices they made for them and in their aging days are need to be taken care of and i do blessing more come to them. have a nice day!

hi tuyakiki, I certainly agree with you all people irregardless of age need to be respected fairly and right and should be treated with care, trust and shower with a lots of affection and care. Different older people have different needs and just like you they need different factors of care as some older people still strong , while others is feeble minded most of the times and have sickness, thus a lot of patience is a key to care for them. thanks.

I forgot to answer your question about why that person is important. My grandmother is important to me because she has always been there for our whole family. She took care of me and my sisters when we were still young, and now that I'm all grown up she still helps me whenever I have problems.

well the same with me as my grandparents live in my mother sister that we just visit them every weekend. So far they are in good condition not really senile and we use to bring them food or accompany them to visit the mall or the park. This s my way to let them feel the love and care then give them their daily needs and attention. Of course caring for the elderly should not only be limited to the close knit relatives and also extend even to strangers. Tough like in this time of Christmas seasons which many believe the one who benefit were mostly children it should not longer be the basis as the elderly especially the abandon one need ta lot of care too to make them even feel the spirit of season giving them joy for them to feel the sincerity of their friends and other people concern for their welfare not becoming lonely as some abandon them which is quite pitiful especially in Home for the aged...

hi letranknight, That good as your grand pa is so sweet and he really care for you which the reason you like him a lot. while you may seem not too close to your grandmother for being strict but do not yourself bother by it and just show them a lot of care and attention as they are old which need a lot of affection, thanks.

hi wgnashze, Well, your experience is a part of reality though it feel sad what we could do as their are still other older person around is to fully show our love to them by giving them a lots of affection and love. It is really amazing feeling to care for an older person never ever gives up although they may feel weak or sometimes afflicted with dementia that they may tend to forget the names even by their loved ones. though, need a lot of patience to care for them and gives them lot of patience as a way to repay the good things they do for us while they are still young. just like paying back as a sign of gratitude. thanks

Well, your mom would be old soon as aging is a natural process which every one could experience..and you could relate to other elderly when you like to have a different experience then need to joint reach out program to touch the hearts of the elderly being abandon by their relatives as a result one could feel the happiness at all when you are able to help or reach out without setting conditions or awaiting payment..
