“Our parents were patient
when we were young,
now it’s our time
to be patient during their old age”.
Have you ever had the privilege
of caring for your mother and / or father?
Possibly one or both became ill,
needing more care than usual,
because they just couldn’t care for themselves anymore.
This is a change in routine
and a change in our mindset.
Being Determined
to look after our parents
(when the time comes)
helps us
to ‘know what to do’
when they really do need our help.
Think about all of the things they did for us
— making sure that we were well-fed,
clean and warm,
sitting up with us when we were ill,
praising our successes —
without them,
we wouldn’t be here!
Yes,
it is a real Privilege
and one which can and does
give us good memories to look back on.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
