If one day you notice signs of aging in your parents like a less clean home, forgetfulness, or moving more slowly, it means they are getting older and may need help. As they aged before you, it is now your turn to care for them as they cared for you. Your parents' declining abilities are a glimpse into your own future, so treasure the time you have with them now and consider their needs by helping with tasks like cleaning, bathing, and cutting up their food. Loving and caring for your parents in their old age is our duty, just as they loved and cared for us when we could not care for ourselves.
