We are introduced to the world and are protected at all times by our parents. Elders possess a plethora of knowledge, earned from various experiences and pain they’ve gone through. We are being taught all these experiences so as to learn from their mistakes and possess a better future. But, it is disheartening to see that many such elders or parents are not given enough respect and place to live with their children. The growth in number of old age homes in the previous years is saddening to witness.
They were there for us when we need them the most. But, it would be a shame for us to not be there when they need our care the most. The basic belief has to be morphed that elder parents should never be thought as a burden.
