Give the gift of time spent with the beloved elderly.
When I read the book "Having Our Say" about the two African-American sisters who
wrote about their life-and-times out-living the Jim Crow era, I remember what
one of the sisters said about their elderly mother.
She said that when her mother was well advanced in years, their mother would just
ask them to be with her.
Seems like the "golden years" are sort of like the second childhood...
sometimes all you want is for the significant people in your life to spend time
giving simple companionship.

Well said, VOA. Time is our supposed most precious commodity, and we should allocate it to those most precious.

That said, any way we can offer the gift of independence while we are not there is a gift as well.
