I don't know what it is about the elderly but I completely respect them and I love to care for them. They deserve to be taken care of like they have taken care of generation after generation. I am very proud of getting my medical assistant certificate just months after my mom passed away because I promised her that I would before she died, and although it was such a hard time for me I did it.I also took care of my Gramp along with hospice. I helped dress, feed, cook, give him meds, walk, with enemas and his cathader, bath him, and I was privleged enough to enjoy his wonderful company. I was the last one he looked at and my hand was the last one he held before he went to a much better place. I only can hope that I made him as comfortable as possible. He brought such joy to me. A lot of people tell me that they think I would get way to attached to the people that I was caring for but shouldn't you? I think so.
