Oh Caminito how lovely and how proud you must be your son continues with your example if only other people made the effort.
Hi Chris ..
Yes ,I am very proud of both my sons .They are caring people.
In 2008 , when I was living in Spain , my mother who was 89 at the time , became very disabled with her Arthritis .
She suddenly went downhill with her health . I of course was worried and wanted to get back to the UK as quickly as possible to be there for her.
My sons told me not to worry ,as they would see to all her needs. She told me that nobody could have done more and I should take my time to return back to the UK.
My eldest son and his wife would , shop , wash , clean , and bathe her .They lived 15 mins away by car .
My younger son looked after her doctors and hospital trips .
I am proud that they were brought up as caring people.
On another note , when I went to BsAs in 2004 , I met a family who had lost everything when the Argentinian banks literally locked
their doors during the economic depression.
I and 5 other friends , send money to them every month . It's not a lot but enough for them to live !
They are in their eighties ,so finding work is not an option now. We will continue to do this until the end !
Also ,because my wife and I are animal lovers , we supported , whilst living in Spain , and still do now , a young Spanish lady ,who looks after abandoned cats and dogs in the area where we used to live .Our own cat that we transported from Spain on our return ,was a four week old kitten that my wife found in the street
She is now 5 yrs old and is my baby ! She sleeps on our bed at night and if it gets cold she creeps under the Duvet with me and cuddles
up
So ,if somebody infers that I am not a CARING person then I say b*ll*cks !
