    Sometimes I run upon a video that really can't be described better than the actual video itself. A brief synopsis or my own take on it just does not do a proper bit of justice.
    The only thing I can write about the video is that it does indeed do a good job of depicting what some may think about us versus what we can actually say if given the chance.

    One caution though, if it doesn't "bring ya" I do not know what will..............God Bless

    Now, after all is said and done, how many of us, when we were younger, looked at the seniors in similar manners?
    I do not ever recall disrespecting someone of age, but on the other hand I really do not recall myself making much effort to just sit down and listen to what they had to say.
    That said, at 67 I'm still young enough to take a better look around myself and see who might need an ear and some understanding.

    What many don't know is that one day they'll be Senior Citizens too. We are there now, being Senior Citizen we know what it is like we are already Senior Citizens.We still have feelings like we did when we were young, we still eat, we still laugh and weep...we are alive just like when we were young. Thank you for the tribute.

    Yeah Gary, that's where I got it but to me it can't be shared enough.

    Here's another one that isn't quite as dramatic but it does show that when everything seems to have gone south for a senior with Alzheimers disease what might be able to be achieved.

    Sorry about the advertising prior to the viewing. What the vid doesn't say is that Ted McDermott is now a recording artist and his stuff has gone pretty much viral.

    The long and short to me is that for the most part we allow people to just sit around and wait for death instead of trying to find a link from the past that can be shared.
