Thank you for sharing your story. I can relate to this. I volenteer every friday at tan elderly home near my house. I do their nails. They love it but I love hearing their stories. I treat them like a human and not like another old person.
Here in the Netherlands it's pretty hard and difficullt for the older people. I know I can't change their lives rght now but at least I give every friday 20 people a great afternoon and lovely nails :)
Thank you for your post... <3
And thank you so much for your comment! This made me smile, I bet they really look forward to you visiting and doing their nails every week. Little things can mean so much. :)
You're welcome. And they really like it when I come over. And if one day I can't make it then the next week when I get back they keep asking if I am doing ok> Are the kids alright? No problems?? They really get worried.
Sometimes I also bring my daughters allong. The girls have a great time to and all the people really love it to :)
That really does sound lovely! My other half is a musician and he spent some time going to old folks homes to play and sing some tunes. They absolutely loved it. :))
