this entry opened my eyes to appreciate our parents more. based on the interview, we can feel the feelings of being there without family and friends to look after them. No matter how hectic our life would be,we should not excluded them from being part of our life.Lets pray that we would be able to give them a better light of elderly-hood as much as we could.
