As I go round to see my ladies and gents it strikes me that the older we get the more value our time on earth.
I was touched by a comment from a 95 year old gent today, who dutifully got up to go to the front door of his care home to see his daughter off. This involved a walk down three corridors and trip in the lift.
As he struggled to get out of his chair his daughter protested ‘You stay in your chair Dad, I'll be alright, I'm sure the Carer has some things to do and probably wants to get on.’
‘No I have a mind of my own and I am going to come downstairs and see you off’ came the firm reply
I patiently waited the ten minutes for him to get back up to the room and as he sat down he apologised for making me wait before saying : -
‘I always like to walk down to the front door to say goodbye to my daughters. I may never see them again!’
