Elder Wisdom Offers More Than Just Stories

Think about the older people in your life. What influence did/do they have? Are there events and stories that come to mind? Is there something you do today that they taught you many years ago? Or maybe you just watched them and copied their behavior? What might you share today to pass on your experiences? Or what might you ask an elder to learn from them?

In an age when we’re often disconnected from our families, usually living too far away and/or being too busy. Time rushes by and then… they’re gone.

Today in Sunday Snacks with Sam and Ellie we share some of our memories with you. There’s much to be learned from people who have lived many decades, through many changes, surviving and, often, thriving in spite of their challenges.
