[quote=Anonymous]When I was about 7 we went to visit my 80+ year old great-grandmother on Halloween. When we arrived all the lights were off and she didn't answer the doorbell. My grandfather had a key so we went in and called her name, no response. We started searching the house & found her hiding under the bed crying. She had forgotten it was Halloween and didn't have any candy for the trick-or-treaters on her street. She was so worried about "making the kids sad and the parents upset" that she turned off all the lights & hid so they wouldn't know she was home. That is the reason I can't deal with the elderly, that sense of someone that has lost control & reality is slipping away. I would love to volunteer and wish I could help in programs like Meals on Wheels but it is almost a phobia that causes deep depression for me, and I am a very rational person but something about old people.....[/quote]
