I used to help my grandmother-in-law, by putting her in the car and taking her out, helping set up the bath and help her walk to different parts of the house, even to adjust/ fix her bed to how she wanted it. I love being able to help older people , it reminds me of when I used to visit my great grandmother here in san marcos she had Alzheimer's so she didnt always remember me but it brings back good memories for me regardless of ,how the other person os giving back is the right thing to do. I enjoy being about to be open about different things with someone that is very wise and hearing their stories of life if willing to talk. I may not have alot of experience, however when I volunteered at an activity center for the elderly I was really amazed that alot of them still have the shocking talent as they did back in their time.
