In an Old Fashion Family, mothers and grandmothers were always put in a place of honor in the home, they never ever felt alone.
Treated always with much love and respect, never ever with neglect.
As children, we were there for them, helping in every way to make their lives easier day by day, in our own special ways.
Older childrens visits came regularly, and always bringing with them their families, enjoying special times with aging moms and dads, realizing it was the only parents they would ever have.
No complaints, not a frown, helping hands all round, while they mowed lawns and cleaned the grounds.
Why have the decades changed, Why are our children not the same, as way back in the OLD FASHION DAYS?
Always remember they are not here forever, one day they will be gone, believe it, that won't take long. Time passes us by quicker than a song.
Mothers, don't give your opinions, they are not allowed, even though as you look around, you can see what's going down, don't try to help, its not ok, you mustn't step on any toes today.
It seems to have slipped away, a lot of the love is taken for granted, and no one wants to bother going out of their way, to help and give support as was given with love in the OLD FASHION DAYS.

By the way, four of us are far-flung, three over 500 miles away, making it difficult to see her all the time. If she moved in with any of us (she could), she would leave what few friends she still has and the other siblings would find it difficult (like I do) to get to see her.
