As adults grow older, it seems they are pushed aside and at times forget by family and friends. Because I have compassion for people especially older adults, this the time they need to be surrounded by persons who care, able to show love , and empathy. Older adults have alot of wisdom and can still offer joy to your life. Let's care for them and not push them aside.
