As a young(er) camper, it would be an honor to help anyone that needed it.
We were camping last August a few sites down from an elderly couple. Never did talk to them, but my wife and I commented that we hoped to be their age and still loving and enjoying doing this together.
Well, about the third morning we were eating breakfast and heard a loud crash. The husband was on the ground and the wife standing over him not able to do anything. I sprinted (in my mind anyway) across to them to find the husband delirious and not in his right mind. I helped him into a chair. He had fainted from low blood sugar and fell into his outdoor stove cutting his arm and bringing all of it to the ground with him. He was lucky he didn't spill hot grease on himself or catch his clothes on fire.
We stayed with them the next little bit to make sure he was okay and made sure that they were comfortable coming for us if they needed anything.
Anyway, it really made us aware of our own age and how things will be changing for us soon. If anything, we left with admiration of the couple and motivated to press on together doing the things we love. Sure, we may get slower at it and exhausted from the process, but we will not stop.
Lizzie, I wish you many more years of camping, in whatever form it takes. :)
