          Very touching. A life worth living is to give all that he has thro’out his life & leave with nothing. But what he left behind are fond memories for all those he loved & gave and tho he left, he’s still giving in that sense. He had indeed led a worthy lifetime, tho short.

                I think our govt did a gd job in preparing an ageing population.
                For instance, seniors belonging to Pioneer or Merdeka Generations enjoy great discount when comes to medical expenses.
                There are plenty of exercise/fittness equipment in neighbourhood for all to keep a healthy lifestyle.
                More and more Senior Care Centres or Nursing Homes being set up to help families with seniors.
                etc

                  It’s very useful for sense of peace to hv available neighbourhood daycare corners for elderlies esp families with no other support for elderly whilst they’re at work. Abit aka childcare in the day.

                    Kids go to childcare centres
                    Seniors go to senior care centres.

                    My dad goes to senior care centre once a week. He enjoys it because he can meet many seniors.

                      That’s what I encourage MIL to do. Currently she goes for exercises at CC & activities at church. She’s very happy to hv frds to chat rather stay home by herself. On days we date her, she just skip the sessions & resume. Hope she gets more active.

                        Same with my MIL. It is enforced physiotherapy for her 3x a week, sweetened by other activities with friends. If we ask her go park walk walk with us, never keen to exercise at all.
