Description
Just a mood piece I felt like doing.
Dedicated to those older folks out there who find life passing them by, where friends and family care enough to give you things - but never seem to have the time to spend time with you. Rather sad I think. So if you know someone up in years, give them a little of your time. It means more than you might know.
Thanks for looking

Great age realism.

Such a common and sad thing... Indeed, spend time with your elderly mom, dad, aunts, uncles, or just friends. Too soon they will be gone. Miss my dad so much.
A beautiful and moving piece of art, Rob - well done!

Well done. Excellent render and sad fact. At 91 my mom lives with me and one of my brothers, neither of us saw fit to be married, and her short term memory is slowly deteriorating. Though not an alzheimers victim it is sad to watch a woman who was so sharp and quick not remember what she had for dinner. Luckily it's the smaller things she forgets first and she has no problem repeating stories of events from 10 plus years ago. Despite frustration and aggravation I wouldn't want to send her to a facility. She loves this house (dad and her built it in '54) and it's been added onto over the years. I take her to doctors appointments and my brother and I will watch a show or two or movie with her from time to time and we always eat dinner together. I do all the cooking now as she can't keep things together to follow all the steps for a meal, but it's all routine now and she has a better quality life. She still as friends she plays bridge with and she can actually drive to the next town about 15 minutes away because she's done it so often. I dread the day when we take away her license, but so far so good. I just don't want a serious accident to be the reason or be too late, so I let her drive us to the doctors once in a while so I can evaluate how she's doing. This image really touched home and I think it's very important for people with parents to think about and think about how they may want their kids to check in on them more than on holidays. While there are all kinds of people and there are bad parents and terrible kids, most people seem normal enough and it would benefit the kids to visit their parents so that their kids will follow by example and come visit and help take care of them in their later years. Don't take them for granted. I wont have any kids to look out for me in my later years (assuming I make it) so I will have to find a very social and supportive facility to move into someday I'm sure. A close and caring family is the ultimate support system.
