CARING
By Norman Holliday
Norman spends his days looking after his aged parents. This - he says - is an honour. He feels that it is wrong for people who have spent all their lives working to now have to pay for care services. Norman says he isn’t classed as being employed - yet he looks after his parents 24 hours a day for which he gets an allowance of some 40 pounds a week!

Norman, God bless you! The meaning of life is what we can do to help people.

Norman Holliday
I thank you for your comments. Unforunately my father passed away in August so I am now just caring for my mother. But thank you very much for your thoughts.

Julie, Sweden
What a wonderful job you`re doing! That your parents should have to pay for outside home-care is outrageous, a big thumbs-down to the responsible authorities, and a big hug for you!!!

Phyllis, Sacramento, California
I hope that somebody will tell Norman that I am blessing him from his head to his toes right now, and I think he is wonderful. All these Video Nation films are just lovely.
