Such a friendship is reliable – it will neither disappoint a man nor show fashion. And there is something to learn. For one – what’s new, for the other – as it was before.
So what’s the secret to staying so fit, energetic and smart? The old woman says that she drinks fish oil, because her son is a doctor – that’s probably what she advised. But this is just a drop in the ocean, because that friend not only likes to move, chat and cook the most delicious meals, but also copes well with the death of her husband – no depression enters her head. They say – now people are lenient, but how nervous they were before… So we can name those three generations – the hardened generation, the obedient generation and the lenient generation. There is also a different generational attitude – why buy if you can make it yourself, and the new generation thinks what to do if you can buy. The turning point is the joy of sincerity and simple communication – after all, such friendship helps to regain strength and motivation just by watching how the old lady manages her life. Not giving up is probably the most important reason for vitality. People of this generation are the biggest example for us…
At this time, the old person becomes interesting for the media and the public, because there is something to draw strength and motivation from. Even on TV sometimes we don’t see such stubborn bright people. So the old people should be jealous of the white. They inspire, interest, live – and all that life can be a wonderful example of life. A real talent to live.
And the old lady we are talking about not only accepts in tidy homes, but also bakes her signature waffles – you won’t find such a taste in a store. And with respect, we can only envy the energy and motivation, because the house smells of real home food, they even offer to taste a homemade roll, which makes us even more admiring. They value homemade food the most, they like farmer’s cheeses, they also ask for homemade eggs, because the waffles are tastier with them. Just to envy!
Children visit, care for and protect such a grandmother. And for me it’s a spark in the darkness of loneliness… Most of all, she wants me to visit, she says – she’s bored alone. But there is no shortage of work in the village. Here in the fall, the garlic has already planted, where will you keep it – it works both at home and in the garden.
Of course, there are many such people. Here is the idea that appeared in the media about Algimantas Čekuolais, who voluntarily moved to a nursing home just so that the children would not be a burden, shows extraordinary understanding. And they, our old people, are quiet, usually live an ordinary life, do not hesitate to ask for anything, are talented and skilled. You can’t compare with the current generation, the kind that wants everything here and now, and for that you need to put in effort and go through the school of life. Grandma, who also saw the war, told how she used to bury food, and now, if it doesn’t taste good, she throws it away! Those who have experienced more than one shock in their lives have a strong spirit and the strength to change their daily routine. About her long life, she says that a fortune teller predicted it for her. But we can firmly say that longevity is a real gift for such people…
