What a terrible headline this week about 101 year old Texana Hollis who was put out in the street because her son failed to let her know that he was not making her mortgage payments. Sorry, but in my opinion someone ought to shoot this man! It really makes me wonder who actually took the mortgage out and what funds were supposed to be paying for it. Sounds like someone was living off of his mother and took every last dime until she lost it all. Thank God for good neighbors who were willing to take her in.
The elderly people of America are really in a bind. Social Security and Medicare are threatened, their children, many of them, certainly not all, have turned their backs on the people that raised them because they are just too busy with all of their own business and lives. Many have lost their homes and some, like this 101 year old woman, have children that have taken advantage of them.
God Bless our parents who raised us and gave us opportunities that they never had themselves. We should take note like many foreign countries like Asia and Europe who worship and revere the elderly. We need to protect our Seniors. Take some time and visit the nursing homes and elder care centers. Adopt a Senior Citizen, they have so much valuable life experience to share and would so love the companionship. Let's not leave our parents and grandparents out in the cold. Without them, we wouldn't be here!!
