It is very sad....

Along the same lines...last night I was reading a book called Stories from the Heart (like the Chicken Soup books) and there was a poem from the point of view of a woman in a convalescent home towards her nurse. That she wasn't just a decrepit (her words, not mine) old woman, that she had thoughts, feelings, love in her still. It was a real eye opener. I volunteer occasionally at a convalescent home close by with my work and it is a good thing to remember.
