honouring our elders

I am thankful to be surrournded by families who honour and embrace the respect and care of our elders. I am proud to be one of them in a time of my father's illness. I travel in peace, knowing that this is the turning of the great wheel... and trusting that the outcome will be for the higher good.

This old man, once vibrant and strong and authoritative, now ill and uncertain. It is an honour to give back the care and guidance he has given me in this lifetime.

An article in the newspaper baffles me - a woman leaves her mother to die in her home, while she is out spending mother's money on herself. I am perplexed and dismayed. I do not understand.

I truly do not understand.

Aho, Dad.
