TAKE CARE OF YOUR ELDERLY PARENTS

Unless your parents abused and/or neglected you as a child, never think that they are not worth the time and effort to make sure they are taken care of when they are sick or elderly,  or both. Your parents raised you from infancy. They may have made mistakes sometimes,  they weren't perfect.  No one is, not even you. They taught you to walk, talk, eat, use the bathroom,  dress, and be able to think and use your mind when you went to school. They took care of you, and worked to be able to do it--and took you to the Dr. when you were sick or needed vaccines for school. If parents abuse or neglect their kids, the kids will be taken away and the parents can be arrested.  So what do you think should be the penalty for the adult kids who refuse to make sure the parents are safe and cared for? Or to help a sibling--leaving them to deal with it by themselves,  like it's  not their  problem too? Can you imagine how broken hearted and sad and lonely they feel after all they did for you? If they have Alzheimers and don't remember you--too bad. YOU REMEMBER THEM AND DON'T FORGET IT! What happens when you're old and sick and your kids take after you and leave you dropped somewhere with no contact. How would you like it? You may pride yourself on being good parents,  but as caregivers, you suck. When they are gone, don't go to their funeral moaning you wish you had more time with them. When you had it, you didn't take it. No one ever said taking care of and watching your parents get old and sick and die was easy. It's not. But it's part of life you have to go through.  Everyone does, unless they disown the parents. God always has your back to help you through.
