1-800-Old-People-Matter by Chris Bent

Today, everything that doesn't matter seems to matter the most. When I thought about what really matters I realized the best place to find out about it is from Old People. So with tongue in cheek I wrote some chapter titles down in the middle of the night: Forever Young, Celebrity, PTSD, Zero To Sixty, Senior Moment, Beatles, Old Girls Matter. and like that for 64 more chapters. Each chapter is rarely more than 2 pages and they are independent of one another. Each with its own nugget of gold in it. While you read, you will be chuckling, you will be thinking. and thinking that Old People Matter. They matter a heck of a lot. Been there, done that says the cocky youth, while the old person just smiles. We are at war with the erosion of family development. Traditional values are being mocked by the enlightened. Listen to the Old People and we can win the war. This book is for all ages, of course. but it really is for old people to be reassured that they are right, and right for the fight. The fight to leave our great grandchildren with some seeds of our wisdom about life.
