Today I am soooo busy getting ready for our H.U.D. inspection tomorrow. I took time out to call one of my Senior Residents just to let her know I didn't have time to come see her as promised. God really does work in mysterious ways, cause my cell phone gave me trouble AGAIN. I could hear her but she couldn't hear me. I tried two times, she hung up before I could bang it on the table enough times to make it work. Then I decided I would walk over there to tell her I didn't have time and that it was me calling her so she wouldn't get scared.
When she let me in I sat down and explained what had happened. She began to talk about not feeling very well, so I decided not to just rush off. Then she began telling me stories from her youth that were wonderful, sad, teary and funny. She was just lonely and wanted to talk. And I sat and just listened. I enjoyed that visit so very much and it didn't take all that long. If my apartment is not up to snuff tomorrow I'm sorry. But I wouldn't take a hundred dollars to have missed that talk. She enjoyed the company and so did I.
Next time you have the chance, go visit that Granma or Granpa and just forget about all you have to do and listen to them. They are just chock-full of interesting information and also have such a wealth of knowledge that you could never get from a book. Believe me, you will take from it more than you could possibly know and they will enjoy your visit even more than you!
