Olderhood is otherwise known as the bottom of the human cycle. It is the stage when most suffer of dementia, Alzheimer, physical handicaps, and feelings of being ignored, unproductive, neglected and unloved. The aged tries to find solace with someone who has the time to listen to the unending stories, the youthful days, the heroic exploits if any, the wholesome appearance when young, etc. The children sometimes forget to address them with the usual respectful salutations and so they just hide the feelings of being hurt. Lucky for parents who have children showing love and affection. But never overdo the concern of driving them to the hospital when they dont feel like going. Hospitals are rough roads leading to the imagination of ultimate end. It is where one can see human sufferings with all kinds of ailments. The best medicine to Olderhood is travel. Never say, they cant walk fast anymore. There are wheel chairs! Dont prohibit them to eat the food they want. Its a joy to see the smile on the face of the aged even dead than to see it with a frown. The aged minus dementia has an active reaction to stimuli. Problems from all aspects bother them. Modesty aside, I cant imagine myself not being bothered if there is anybody in the social milieu suffering. Why? Yes because even if I belong to the Olderhood, I love, I laugh and I live with the hands of my Creator leading me. Members of the Olderhood, Facebook Lang kayo. It adds life with malunggay according to my housemate! God bless everyone!
