The camera in the house of the old woman showed that she was doing alone.
This cute 98-year-old woman is called Mary Tony. American woman lives alone in his small house and tries to get his days as joyful as possible. Sunlight, wind, playing by leaves, chirping birds on trees in the garden - This everyday irremiating routine caused Mary an insurmountable melancholy.
Soon everything has changed. Mary began to go to the local center for the elderly, where she could easily forget about her longing for several hours. But this time everything was different - a film crew came to the center. During the filming, Mary felt special, with genuine laugh expressing her emotions.
The center staff tried to brighten up the life of the elderly. "When they leave home and do not come more the next day, because there are no more them, I try to hope that the last day of my life they spent in joy," says the center of the center. When journalists asked her why this work seems to her such important, she just answered: "They are living people. They need care. And they are no less important than others younger. "
One day, when the bus once took Mary out of the house once again, in her eyes there was still big sadness - loneliness left an indelible mark on her. The remarkable group asked what she usually deals during the day. "What should I do? Where will I go? I'm alone. I can not hear. I do not see. I can't live with my nieces - they have their own families, "she replied, sighing. "Every evening I look forward to the next morning to go to the center." I really like it there. But on Saturdays and Sundays there is no one there. "
The refracted voice of Mary told that she was doing during these two long days: "I take promotional magazines and the RB of their pages on stripes. Then I cut these strips into small pieces, throwing them into a paper bag, and then in the garbage. I have to do something, otherwise I will go crazy. "
Having learned this, the staff of the Center could not hold back tears: "I never even thought about it. After work, I go home, I come back to my usual life. I never asked myself what they were doing at home. " But for Mary Loneliness is not a reason to regret ourselves: "How many 98-year-old old people still have firm on their feet? I can. And I will continue until there is power. "
In this weekend, Mary had guests from the center. When they left, she stood on the door for a long time, accomplishing their eyes. "Thank you for coming. You gave me a wonderful day, and I will never forget it, "said an elderly woman who was noticeably flourished from attention from the surrounding.
Attention, kisses and hugs - Mary values all this most in the world. She knows exactly what it costs to live this life, and that in fact is invaluable. Caring, kindness and love - without them we would not have done and step towards life. That is why they are so important to give older people, perhaps in their last days. Maybe it is your random smile to scrub their day, illuminates his hope and leaves sadness behind. Take care of the elders.
