Do you think some people these days take the elderly for granted? After they get too old to care for themselves or can't be trusted alone are placed in nursing care. Nothing wrong with that. But after they are placed there with the promise of their relatives coming to visit become broken. They are often are left to themselves or others of their age and the nursing faculty. I visited a nursing home today to deliver something there. While waiting for it to be received. Some elderly dude came up to me and said I am almost like his son. His son fought in the Vietnam war and died. Although felt somewhat weird because I don't know this guy and he did not know me. But I ended up talking to the dude anyways. He told me some of things he witnessed and experienced when he was my age. Stuff about the Korean War era and what not. While I had fun listening to his past. I also learned more about that point of time then any textbook I ever learned in school just by listening to the dude. It made me want to come back to the facility just to visit with the dude and other elderly people there. Did you ever have an interesting discussion like this with an elderly man or woman?
