This does bring back memories of visiting my grandmother in a nursing home. She had 2 of her kids and 6 grandkids nearby and we all took turns visiting her, even when we weren't sure she recognized any of us. But the lady in the bed next to her had been in the home for 20 years without visitors. We made sure we visited with her too, but it was sad that her family just ignored her. Perhaps they thought that because she had gone blind and lost most of her hearing that her mind didn't work as well. They were wrong. She still loved them, too, and told us all about her family that was too busy to visit.
I enjoyed this piece. It reminds me of going to with my grandma when I was little to visit her dad in a nursing home. I enjoyed those visits, but only remember them vaguely because he died when I was about six. She visited him every day.
Really love this one, and it is so true. Mom always said she didn't want to end up in an old folk's home, that she'd rather be dead, and she made all of her three girls promise that she would never end up in one. She didn't. She lived at home until her early death at age 67, but she got her wish because when she could go no more, she passed on instead of being put into an old folk's home and that is what she wanted, just the way she wanted it to be. Blessings, Barbara
John, It seems like it happens so often, when people become hard to care for, they get thrown away. We forget that not only will we be there too, but after living through everything that they have, they have more to offer than we'll ever know. Again, you've hit the core of the subject. Jackie
Yes Bev, it is sad and oh so true.
Bob, what can I say, thankyou so much, normally the true ones get the message accross better than the made up ones. Your nice comment made my miserable life a bit happier today. *lol*
Well written John. That's why I took my Brownie troop into the senior's centre - and they loved it! The seniors and the children, it was terrific fun each time we went.
Funny, they are the ones who give us our future and we reward this by forgetting they exist. Sad eh.
Welcome !
