Elderly homes

I have a soft spot for the elderly. When you've gone through all there is to go through in life and you're all the wiser and so frail until it feels like every step you take might just break another bone or twist another tendon, it must be so hard to take care of your own self.

I, for one, am darn insecure about who is going to take care of me when I'm really old hopefully with fully grown kids of my own and a loving husband. Hehe. One can dream, no? I think it isn't nice to chuck your parents in care homes just because they're interfering with your lives. Does the Petronas Raya ad come to mind? They've worked so hard to bring you up right and I'm pretty sure it isn't easy bringing up children, the least you could do is not ignore them when they've gone all cranky and start spilling food all over the dining table.

However, I guess sometimes the situation is such that it can't be helped and you have to place your loved one in a care home where experienced carers are able to take care of all their needs. Just remember to visit them all the time!
