I guess most of us belong in this category. Some excellent bloggers that I follow and befriended are older than I am. I am a grandparent too so I belong here.
Today, July 25, 2021, the Church observes for the first time the “World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly. It was instituted by Pope Francis early this year to be observed annually on the fourth Sunday of July, close to the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary which every July 26. – ( from the Dominican Province of the Philippines).
The Church invites us to care for our grandparents and elderly by setting aside this special day. There is a prayer issued by the Holy See in observance of this day.

I don’t know if we have this in England. If we do, I have never heard of it. 🙂
I hope you have an enjoyable day with some extra attention, Arlene.
Best wishes, Pete.

Biological degradation of the body due to aging may be accepted naturally.
Perhaps the worries is the degradation of affection by youth (children) to elderly (parents).

They are more focused in technology nowadays and some are not taught the traditions we were born to.
