| Small Blessings As part of a class project my daughter had to interview, write a paper and give a speech on a person in their 80's. My daughter chose one of her elderly neighbors. During the interview the gentleman spoke of the past, present and future. My daughter had been very moved by her interview and regretted not being able to spend more time with her elderly relatives. The gentleman she interviewed, passed away this week. The family used my daughters report for the eulogy. They were so glad that she did it! |

| Oh, wow. That's really touching! I'm sure the family of the man was happy she did it too! That's something they'll always have to keep.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | What a touching story. I really feel that our elderly population is so overlooked. All they want is a little of our time to tell stories and remind us and themselves that they were once active and had exciting lives. I take care of my 87 year old parents everyday and my Dad will tell me the same stories over and over and I just nod or ask questions. I really think that was an ivaluable lesson for your daughter on compassion. Great job!!

| Wow, that is great. Are you recording any of his stories? At one time I talked to my DH's grandmother about geneology. For about 2 years before she died, she would put all the birth, marriage and death dates all over any card she sent to us. She was from Armenia, so some of the information would have been very hard to get. Quote:
