The Greatest Generation

The elderly are more than just "old people" to me. It makes me frustrated when people are impatient with the elderly, everyone will one day reach that part in their life where they need help walking or grocery shopping.  Making fun of them is just like making fun of yourself years down the road. The are the greatest generation because they cherish the little things in life, like going to church, buying something for their grandchildren, and talking about what it was like when they were growing up.  My grandmas both love to  take me shopping, make me dinner, talk to me on the phone. Neither one of them complains about their age because they know they both have lived a successful fullfilled life and they wouldnt change anything about it.  Thats what makes them so great.
