On growing old

Can you imagine where will you be when you grow old? Here in the Philippines, families have high regard to their elderly maybe because of close family ties. Seldom families choose to send their old relatives to nursing homes. It’s a bit different in other countries. A lot of families now in the US and UK are considering nursing homes for their elderly. Maybe due to their busy lives and way of living, they could not personally attend to their needs anymore.

I just thought…we should be an example to our children on how we take care of elderly members of our families so that when we grow old, we will receive the same respect and care from them.
