There is a wonderous beauty and wisdom in an aging face.

It is hard won through years of struggles and victories, joy and pain.

It results from years of hard work, love won and lost, and lessons learned.

Nothing can compare to the dignity and grace.

Unfortunately, at the same time we are growing wiser,

our bodies are growing wearier.

It becomes increasingly difficult to physically do all we used to.

Often this includes even the basic tasks of daily living.

We find ourselves, the same people who always took care of others, 

needing someone to help take care of us.

It is often hard to accept,

but its a natural part of the cycle of life.

and it offers others the opportunity to pay back for what they've been given,

and pay forward for what they will need.
