Me and my husband had turned down a side street in Patchogue and these two boys around 13 years old flagged us down and asked us to stop. A 87 year old man had fallen down and the boys could not get him up. So my DH helped pick him up and we drove him to his house one block over. I felt so sad for him. He said to us he wasnt as young as he used to be. You could tell he had bad arthritis throughout his body. After we dropped him off he thanked us and said Merry Christmas. Me and My Dh cried after because we felt so bad for him. And it hit my DH cause his Name was AL and that was his grandfathers name who passed away, also had bad arthritis and he looked a little like him too.. God Bless our Elderly and all the grandparents out there!!! This is the second old person I have seen fallen within 2 weeks..

My mom once found an old woman just wandering the street outside our house and it turns out she had alzheimer's and didn't know who she was or where she lived. Luckily, my mom recognized her from the neighborhood and took her home.

So very sad!!!
