Five for Fighting "100 Years"

I took a minor in Gerontology when I was going to the University of Southern Indiana. The Study of Aging. I have always felt passionate toward our older adults. I am greatly amazed at their life story. This video is about an older man that shares his life story with his grandson. He starts by showing his grandson his picture album. You surely relate...when you see a picture, sometimes it takes you back months, many times years. Thos are precious memories. As you can see all his memories are in black and white. Pay close attention!!!! There is only ONE colored image. This video image is of a woman opening the palm of her hand, a man reaches to grab her hand. In this video, the older man had lost his wife and as he was looking through the picture album, his head filled with memories of his beloved wife. The color image represented that no matter what, she is always with him. I hope all of you enjoy this!!!!

I don't know if it's because of my instinctive love of history (it's all I've read about throughout my life and what I majored in), but I've always recognized that every elderly person was once young. It seems so obvious, but I swear 99% of my friends don't seem to notice.

Today's 80 year olds were once twenty; I'm 25 and (god willing) I'll eventually be 80. People, be it now or in the bronze age, have always been "people". We're all subject to the effects of time.
