Hubbys granny is in a nursing home. 93 years old and is now blind, deaf completely in one ear, and 70% in the other. Her oldest son (hubbys father who is 73 himself) goes to see her daily. At least once a month we drive up to see her and to sing her favorite gospel songs.

When I leave there my heart is in my throat. When I walk through the dining area where they have all of their elderly sitting waiting to be fed, I choke back. My mother-in-law and I try to speak and touch each of them just to let them know that even though we are strangers, we are still praying for them.

You are a wonderful woman.
I hope someone is there in your sunset years to make you feel special.
