Certainly not a bad boy but a wonderful person who cares the people that he loves.
My mom was sick for 5 years - no walk, no eat and I was side by side with her for all this time until she goes to Heaven. IΒ΄m proud of this and IΒ΄m sure that could make everything again and I believe that much better than ever! Go ahead!

i was unlucky enough to never have grandparents
but, i still have a really soft spot for the elderly. and it makes me angry when people whine about their grandparents.
they should be grateful of them while theyre still with us.
anyway.
this is beautiful. definitely deserving of a DD. congratulations.

I totally understand and agree with you. Well, I have not been completely without grandparents, I was fortunate enough to have my granny for most of my life, but I didn't see her regularly and sadly she's gone now. I never met my other grandma or either grandfathers because they passed away before I was born, so I do know what you mean - people should be grateful to have these people in their lives x

This is a very special picture of a special moment. I do have a great respect for what this guy is doing. And as so often: under all this toughness, there's a heart of Gold.
Thanks for showing this!

Bless his heart ... what an amazing human being your son is. Sometimes in life we get so wrapped up in our own affairs that we forget about the people who matter to us and raised us to be who we are. Life is an endless cycle, and the ones who used to take care of us should be respected and taken care of when they need it.
This just goes to show that your father did a wonderful job raising you, because you did a wonderful job raising your son. Such a moving and powerful picture. Thank you for sharing, and congrats on the DD!!

If everyone in the world was like that... think were we would be? Anyway, naivetΓ© and wishful thoughts aside, the world isn't like that- but it's people like this who make it as sweet and good as it could be.
Well done and thank you for capturing such a moment in time, when someone is doing something to make this world a better place.

I can really relate to this picture as I am a care assistant in a nursing home. For me, it's the best job in the world, so fulfilling. Wonderful shot!

Wow, this is very touching in a sense. The love with this family is really strong.
To be honest, the pic is a happy one, yes, but for some reason I feel a mix of sadness in this. I really cant expalian, but it makes me kind of choke (the kind of choke a person gets trying to fight tears).

How absolutely fantastic. I certainly hope that somebody will be there for me when I age - and I do so hope they are covered in tattoos

touching!! very..
reminds me of my own dad who's health is going downwards
hope I could nurse him like your son when the day comes that he can't take care of himself anymore..
but he lives in another country.
thanks for sharing!!

I hope that I will have someone to take such good care of me when I get too old or too sick to take care of myself, instead of just putting me into a home.

That reminds me a lot of my mom, who has to take care of grandma with alzheimers. Much the same thing, not being able to bathe.. It's surprising your son is doing this, atleast in my family, the men tend to chicken out of this kind of thing : P

This is really rather adorable.
One of my huge regrets in life is the fact I'm incredibly prudish and can't help my great aunt like that :c
You must have raised you son very well.

I am "gulity" of feeling very moved by this. I doubt i could explain it any better than repeating what CecilyAsia already said before. I just find this very moving and realistic. It takes real talent to "capture the moment" like this

This is a great shot. The colors are smooth and it has nice composition! The only thing that bothers me in the slightly out of focus edge of the towel on the right hand side. If your intention was to frame your subjects I think there should have been more of the towel, or it should have been eliminated all together.
Great shot nonetheless

I agree with everyone else that has commented!
this is a very emotional, but simple photo.
It show a lot of emotion between the young and the old.
And they're both smiling at each other!
*CecilyAsia has Told all of our feelings well done <3
