"His Words not Mine"

Sometimes it's tough to be old! When you have to go pee 5 times a night and each time you have to ask for help it can be a bit frustrating. Especially if you know that some of the staff are going to "give you the gears"....his words not mine.
I learned that no one should expect a free ride but never the less the elderly have contributed a lot to our society and as such should be treated with dignity...his words not mine.
I learned that when you get old you have to expect that others (younger and healthier) still need to live their lives and can't spend every minute with you....his words not mine.
I learned that when you start to feel the cold more and start to dislike winter it could be a sign that you're getting old...her words not mine.
I learned that it's possible for your head, your tummy and your back all to hurt at the same time....her words not mine.
I learned that when your old and all these thing hurt that you can still laugh...her words not mine.

And most of all I learned that I still have so much to learn!....my words not his.
