When I read this story it truly brought tears to my eyes.
I always loved to help the elderly and make them smile.
When I was little I volunteered at the local hospital and as an adult I actually DJ at various nursing homes. I love playing the music that I know many of them grew up listening to… like Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Jerry Vale etc…
One time I was schedule to play for an hour. Well I ended up playing for over 2 hours. Everyone had such a good time. The woman in charge told me…” when they don’t like someone they wheel themselves right out of the room” I’m just glad they enjoyed themselves.
At one point I saw one woman crying. I assumed it was because the particular song I was playing brought back very special memories. There is nothing like making people happy.
The young girl in this article made this man extremely happy and he had been so sad after having lost his wife. Kindness goes a very long way.
We need so much more of this…
