As she is, unfortunately, no longer with me I believe this to be will be the best way for me to do something that makes me feel her close and still alive in mhy heart. poet in the heart.. and child in the mind!! Unfortunately, not everybody love their grandparents. I am proud to say: Yes, I loved mine! This page is for all those who love, or loved, their grandparents. I would this to be a way to
thank grandparents for every little thing they do, or did, for us. My request for everyone is to be nice and thoughtful to their grandparents. My prayer to God is that He guide me on the path of my life that he help me to support someone who needs it that He give
me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and talents in unexpected people. That he show me how to help the needy how to serve them best; that I can see through their problems and do even the smallest bit to bring smile on their face. ITS NOT ONLY AND ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY:
Elderly and Senior Citizens:
1) Visit your local nursing home and simply visit and talk with patients, sing songs, tell stories, read books, play games, take them on a walk, put on a performance, etc.
2) Help an elderly neighbor by raking leaves, mowing lawn, weeding flower bed, shoveling snow, wash car, clean house, etc.
3) Visit widows or homebound individuals – make them a meal, stop in to say hi, help around house, etc.
4) Spend an evening teaching a senior citizen how to use the computer or internet, painting or drawing, scrapbooking, etc.
5) Go to nursing home and have a Karaoke night – sing songs they want (the ‘oldies’). Have them teach you their dance moves!
6) ‘Adopt a Grand-friend’ – every once in a while, pick up the phone, send an email, write a letter, or go and visit your ‘grand-friend.’
7) Help an elderly person by picking up their medicine, retrieving their paper, helping them with grocery shopping, taking them ‘out.’
8) Put together a puppet show, performance, or take a game – and have a fun game night with the senior citizens. (Take them a treat too).
9) Make a meal and just go visit an elderly, sick, or widowed person in the neighborhood and just have a fun evening together playing games, telling stories, and talking.
10) Visit grandparents, widows, or local elderly people in the neighborhood or nursing home – and write down their history. Just talk to them, ask them questions, and record their answers. Then, present that history to their family.
