Older Relatives

[DavidMn]

I thought I'd share how I feel on this subject. I was very close to my grandmother and great aunt who have passed away, and it really disheartens me when I see young people that dont want to spend time with their grandparents or other older relatives. Those memories of spending time with them will live with me forever, and young people that dont take that opportunity are really missing out. To this day, I have always felt a special connection to Senior Citizens. My great aunt always used to tell me stories about living through the great depression. I mean to hear first hand stories about that time in our country is priceless. And what makes me even more angry is when I see people just dump their relatives in a nursing home. I used to talk to the residents at a home where my friend worked, and it REALLY pissed me off seeing how disheartened that these people were that no one gived a damn about them anymore.
