12.10.2005 We love you, Lord.

(Kat-Kat with Lola Paz)

The peace we can have when the elders among us can find joy when at play with an innocent being as a child. There may not be an exchange of words, but more can be said through the smiles and the laughter and the body language from both.

Age does not matter in being joyful as long as there is love. Imagine yourself in the presence of a child and an adult 100 years of age. You should have the patience, and tolerance to be able to take care of the child and a lot of understanding for the desires, needs and actions of the 100 year-old adult.

Simple are the needs of an elderly; a hankie for a head band and one for a sore throat, a cozy chair to sit on, a cup of coffee or milk, a bottle of mineral water, tissue paper, fruits and biscuits. Personal needs can be seen in the photo.

The child? the soft and assuring touch of someone with an understanding heart; warm lap to lay down its body and a belief that it can partake of whatever there is to eat of the food on the elderly's table. Bless them, Lord.

Bless their caregiver, Lord.
