Dear Jeff:

Once again we see that rather intrepid reporter & Editor of The Edmonton Senior, Mr. Colin F. Smith file a most interesting report. Covenant Health is restricting access in the parent-child relationship to the children of parents who have become rather sickly & elderly. Its important that family bonds remain in place in seniors residences, old age homes, & dementia wards between family's. Especially as the parents being so old have now become the "defacto children" & their adult children must now become "pseudo parents" in order to see that their moms & dads are being properly looked after with dignity & respect as they go through the aging process. Grandkids and younger family members (including students) need to see that the elderly must be looked after & that their parents have the right to quality interaction with their elders. Its almost if you look at it from another perspective, the kids & grandkids are learning about "the school of life" here & that those aging must be allowed to do so gracefully.

Once Again Colin Is Aces,

Rory
