This short story, "Wooden Bowls", really touched me in a significant way. It shows that everyone should really enjoy all the time they have with their loved ones. This especially apllies to when they reach an elderly age. I can connect to this story because I have two of my grandparents that live with me and I love spending time with them. We eat dinner, watch t.v together, play cards, and even exchange stories. Even though some stories might be a little too long, everything they say always sticks with me and I will pass it on to my children. The way I look at it is that I should appreciate the time I have to spend with them, because you don't really know what you have until it's gone. When connected to C.A.R.E.S. this short story included responsibility. For instance, the couple exposed that with his limited days on Earth, it was their responsibility to make them as best as possible. Overall, I can relate to this story because when I was younger, my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and I would visit her everyday. This shows that I made an effort towards seeing my grandmother when she was sick. In conclusion, I enjoyed reading this short story.
