What a lovely post. My father is 89 years old and still lives alone in his condo about two miles from me. I see him almost daily, sometimes he drives over my house, we still talk and joke. he is very hard of hearing but i just talk loud.
Yes, it is sad to be lonely, old, and with ailments. Hope you continue to go to the home. Once you see what you can do to brighten one's day; you find yourself wanting to go as it makes you feel so much better to brighten one's day. Actually, they are doing you the favor.
