Linda, really that quote is inspiring both for caregivers and for those cared for (even though they may not know it all the time). As a parent it is inspiring for me as well.

Lance, you absolutely read my mind.

I wanted to add “And FROM whom it feels trust and reverence.” And I believe in my heart that our Golden Oldies can feel it even when they can’t verbalize it back to us, as in my Mom’s case.

What a beautiful quote.

“I believe in my heart that our Golden Oldies can feel it even when they can’t verbalize it back to us, as in my Mom’s case.” I believe so too.

Hi Linda,

That is a beautiful quote. It reminds us to show compassion and love for all of the elders in our lives and those we come in contact with.
