Your words truly touched my heart. It's heartbreaking how often elderly parents are left behind, despite everything they've done for their families What you shared is a deep reflection of reality caregiving is love, but it's also exhausting. And yet, abandoning our elders should never be an option. Your thoughts are brave, honest, and full of wisdom. Thank you for reminding us that love and dignity are what we all deserve, especially when 'the afternoon' of life arrives. May we all treat our elders with the respect they once gave us.
