Young adults usually choose to pursue a career, love and friendships.
It is easy to concentrate only on yourself the world encourages it.
Thats why it is so fascinating to see young adults who choose to follow a different path.
Growing up, Chriss grandmother was the source of love and support for her young grandson.
They made many wonderful memories together and she helped to shape him into the man he is today.
So when the time came to take care of her, Chris was happy to do so.
In 2014, Chris became his grandmothers full-time caretaker.
Taking care of the elderly is no easy feat it requires a lot of time, patience and expertise.
A lot of grandparents end up in care homes, under the care of professionals.
It works for some as modern care homes are wonderfully equipped with the latest technology and experienced staff.
However, there are many horror stories that deter people from that.
Especially her little baby grandson Chris, who she is extremely proud of.
People have no idea how hard it is, yet Chris does it with a smile.
Chris hopes to inspire others to follow his lead, to provide care and comfort to elderly family members.
His bond with Lola is incredible to witness, seeing how she beams when they interact.
It is evident that she feels safe and loved.
She cant move and shes bound to her bed.
Its no longer funny when they fall asleep watching TV.
Instead, it makes us worry: are they eating well, getting rest and taking vitamins?
When is it a sign of ailing health?
We begin grieving our loved ones while theyre still alive.
It is calledanticipatory grief.
It is a recognized condition even though it is not talked about.
Those who are going through it may experience feelings of sadness, fear and deep regret.
How can we deal with it?

Well done, Lola, for raising such a beautiful man!
