Call your senior relatives people

Don't just see them on the holidays

Hell you see an old person out and about try to start a conversation, those conversations can have a real impact on their lives.

Good advice. I don't regret any of the time I spent with my Grandma. She was hysterically funny and would always stop what she was doing to chat. I could tell she really valued the time. She also taught me a ton of stuff about cooking, canning etc

Regular interaction helps them avoid senility as well.
