Thankyou for sharing your nursing home memories.
For a few weeks was working on a elctrical contract at a nursing home.
In that season of my life was also discovering the legacy of many Family members.
[One individual was a test Pilot on Englands famous fighter plane..the Spitfire.
later he saw action in the Battle of Britian carrying his service thru the war.
He lost his life as a test pilot in the 1950's flying the new Jets of the RAF ].
Nearing the mid afternoon at the nursing ..was alone with an elderly man in his room.
On the mantle was a photo of a young airmen climbing out of a RAF Spitfire cockpit..bearing a big grin.
He nodded several times emphatically and I seemed to see a smile on his face under his respirator.
returning to work a short time later a Nurse quickly came into the room..then check the man..then asked me to leave.
The man passed away a hour or so later..
I went away from that encounter in awe...for me..it was no happenchance..it was an appointment.
