- Oh my gah!
- You just blink and you're 60.
- Like I can't run around the block anymore.
That's another shirt that I have, it says born to run
and the run is crossed off and it says walk.
- I, you know, I don't feel as old as I am.
- I don't say my age.
I don't know, I just...
- She doesn't like to talk about that kinda stuff,
but I think it's important for her to talk about
that kinda stuff so she can be aware,
there's nothing to be ashamed about.
We're all gonna get older.
- That's the thing that I'm kinda confused about because
she does open up about certain things,
- I feel like if I just asked him about it,
he would tell me, but I just never found the perfect place
to kinda ask him about that.
So, my uncle is funny, lighthearted,
- My aunt Marsha, she has a heart of gold,
one of the most caring people you will ever meet.
- My dad, he doesn't hold onto things, he is just himself.
- My uncle has lost a lot of confidence over the years,
he's been through a lot.
I wanna see him gain that confidence back.
- I definitely wish that she feels a sense of security.
- And I haven't lost confidence, it's, I've lost contact.
- People don't even look at old people sometimes,
they're like invisible.
- You notice that when you get older.
- There's some kind of discrimination against age.
I'm sorry.
- When you, you know
- Ahhh!
- Hi!
- Going on, sir?
- You been here the whole time?
- Yeah.
- You guys are full of tricks, huh?
- Oh my gah!
Looking in the mirror!
- I love you so much.
- Oh, Mazen you're such a babydoll.
- I love you so much Aunt Marsha.
- I love you honey.
- [Man] So Grandma, I noticed that it was a little difficult
for you to open up, why is it sometimes difficult to get
into those details, why do you think?
- Part, you know, it's part of the stage that
you're getting older.
- It's a difficult topic-- - Yeah yeah,
it's a difficult, well I never talked about aging.
Not really that I liked to,
but... - Yeah.
- But sometimes you have to.
We don't talk much about the aging process.
That's the issue. - Yeah.
- So, one thing I learned about you,
that I didn't know before,
was I didn't know that you felt invisible.
- Most people my age do.
- Because, yeah, these are things that
need to be talked about.
I think we could really benefit, you know, as a nation,
for respecting our elderly,
listening to what they have to say,
taking their life advice.
- We never even talked like this, but society,
do you feel like, - Yeah.
- do you feel like that?
- Yeah, a lot of times young people kind of overlook.
- I usually choose somebody that's a little bit older
and try to engage them in conversation.
'Cause it may be the only stimulation
you've had for the day.
- No one should ever have to feel alone,
and that's why those little acts of kindness go a long way.
- It's cathartic, it made me say things that I
didn't even realize for myself.
- So I feel like opened both of our minds up.
- From here on in,
we'll have a little bit different dialogue.
- A lot of people, especially people who are aging,
have this sort of anxiety about they're time's running out.
And I just want everyone to sort of
be able to live in the moment and
appreciate what's happening around them,
and not be so focused in on the things that they don't have
or all those negative memories.
We're meant to age like wine,
we're not meant to age like moldy milk.
- Gah!
- Dad!
- Ahhh
- I love you, Aunt Marsha.
- I love you too.
- This was nice, this was a good conversation.
