Think Over it........

This Monday we have celebrated Senior Citizens day. This was good way to show our parents& other elderly citizens that we real need them, and above all love them.

In our city many old age home celebrated this day by having some different kind of programs. I and my husband wished our parents on phone since both my parents and his parents are not staying with us they are far away. But we do keep visiting all of them.

That day I also met one of our family friend who are senior citizens .Financially they are well of, health wise ok because they only have problem which normally all us will face when we will become old. But some how I felted that they are not happy because their kids are not around. They are staying abroad. We will find many such couples around us.

I really feel sad about these people. Because they are constantly under tension that what will happen me if my partner dies before me? Who will look after me? Whether my children will be able to make it to the time when I will be saying final goodbye to this world?

I think every body who is young should think all these points, plus insecurities faced by senior citizens in form of finance, some times emotional keeping in mind that nobody is going to be young for forever .Eventually we are also going to become old one day.

At least give them the respect .Which they deserve for their contribution to society.
Then I think we will not require any particular day to celebrate senior citizens day.

That’s all for the day. See you soon.
