I don't feel really well today. After all the many complaints, not so good comments and the many people I know who are sick and suffering, I feel distraught. Who wont be? My parents are always sick because of the severe pain of arthritis. Both of them have problem walking now and doing the things they love to do before for the community has stopped because their knees are so weak now. Old age is the culprit. My Mother is already 84 years old and my Father is 88 years of age. Recently, my aunt also told me about her husband (my uncle) who is in and out of the hospital suffering from diabetes and because of dialysis administered in the hospital only they have to take him there after the process is done, he's back to the house and my aunt is doing the caregiving for my uncle who had a kidney failure already.
Old age. How old is so old? I think when you are over 75 years of age you are OLD. It's time to slow down and just stay at home. Learn not to break your bone or hip. Be careful. Do not think about working because retirement age is 65 years old.
Did you know that rheumatism and arthritis occurred at the age of 50? While some younger humans had arthritis at age earlier than 50 years of age probably because they had a hard life or they were athletes and living in the coldest part of the world.
Nobody is strong at age 65. There are humans who had dementia even before age 60. The memory of some human beings tend to diminish according to age. Others earlier than 50. I don't know if that's hereditary.
What makes you strong? Is the food that we eat everyday the kind of food that can affect our memory and has detrimental effect on our body to become weak? Or it's just that when you are older there's tendency for you to be at your weakest link?
We're all going there to the place of our final destination and God knows only God knows who knew it when and where.
Be prepared just like good girl scouts or good boy scouts. Be Prepared. For the meantime make use of your time and day the best of all the best. Do something good everyday and be kind to one another.
Wishing everybody the healing they deserve. May the Lord God grant the sick and weak to be stronger and their faith restored. Cast away their doubts and let them be cured of their ailments and suffering. Thank you Lord our God. Amen.
