We love the elderly because

• They are filled with wisdom and experiences
• They love us
• They put time and effort into us
• They fed, clothe and took care of us
• They nursed our injuries and helped restore us to good health
• They protected us
• They sacrificed for us to have a decent life
• They gave up so much and gave up part of themselves to be there for us
• They advocated for us
• They have poured into us
• They are the foundation for our future
• They started our generation
• They instilled value and principles in us
• They helped shape our future
• They believed in us and our dreams
• They encouraged and led us to our purpose
• They suffered and endured so we do not have to
• They made mistakes, so we could learn from them
• They influenced our decisions and our life choices
• We are a part of them genetically

Why do we protect them

• They are vulnerable to health issues and need support in getting the help they needed
• They are vulnerable to scammers looking to take advantage of their resources
• If Scammers can get to them, they can also get to us
• They have sacrificed so much that they sometimes make poor choices. We have to step up, protect and advocate for them, as they advocated for us when we made poor choices.
• They are fragile and weak.
• They have a wealth of knowledge and stories to share with us and our loved ones
• Our children would love to have their grandparents and great grandparents paly a role in their lives
• Our children would love to get the occasional pampering from them.
• Our children would love to hear the stories about our childhood that we do not know about.
• Our children would like to know how history shape the present and probably would shape the future.
• What our children see us to them, is what they would do to us.
• They are part of our village and a village is beautiful in every form. Each person plays a specific role and it can be healthy.
• Their time with us as they get older gives them happiness and joy, we should not rob them of it
• They are easily abused.
• They do not like to bother us with their pain, so they hide their issues and not share it with their loved ones.
