I love to go shopping late on Saturday eve or early Sunday morn and watch those who don’t have a clue what to get but trying to find something to keep themselves out of trouble.
Too often folks who have older parents could save themselves time and money by just spending a little extra time with that loved one that may not be able to do much any longer because of failing health.
Planting flowers, sprucing up something around their home, purchasing some stamps and a box of cards for them to send is a nice gift. Maybe just doing a chore that they can’t do like washing windows, cleaning a closet can mean so much to someone who sits in their home most of the time.
Often just being a little kinder the other 51 Sundays of the year is a nice gift.
I know being a caregiver is not easy. It is easy to become short tempered and judge unfairly because we don’t want that loved one aging and not being what they were when we were young.
I will try to think of my own written advice when my fuse is so short and I am tempted to have a cane fight with Mom.
I think how often she strives to forgive all of her six ducklings and to weigh her words as to not offend. I would have done hurt to all of us by now, LOL.
