I have been working in the geriatric field for four years, and am currently studying it in college. I bought this book to read for pleasure, and to reaffirm why I chose to work with the older generation. This is a wonderful book that honors the elderly with heartwarming stories of family, friends, love and the effect of one life on another. Many of the stories reminded me of my own life and relationships with my grandparents. I would recommend this book as a gift for people who work with the elderly, such as a favorite nurse or caregiver. They will truly appreciate it, as will anyone who has been touched by the life of an elderly person. I would recommend this book as a fun book to read and bring back memories of your past.

I really liked this book. Many of the stories and poems were about people with very different experiences but they all shared common themes of love, passing of wisdom, and honoring elders.

It made me think back to times I spent with my grandparents; the fun and frustrations, the quiet moments and the joyous hours.

Now the time I share with my parents, siblings, and other relatives is all the more precious.
