Shownotes: 

Have you ever hung out with someone and gotten annoyed because they weren’t really paying attention? Sometimes, we can spend time with someone without giving them your attention.

We can love our older family and friends on a low budget and even from a distance. Listen to today's episode for more insight.

3 Ways to spend quality time with a grandparent/aging parent:

1. Do an activity together (listen to the story I share about Grandma Joy and Brad) 

2. Listen intently - Don't give advice. Let them vent.

3. Engage in quality conversation - When you ask them how they are, you honor them.

If you are a grandchild and perhaps not the primary caregiver, one HUGE way you can improve the older person's health is to fill their emotional love tank THROUGH quality time. Listen to the rest of the episode to find out how.
