This is a lovely reminder to make sure we visit and talk with someone who is lonely. I try to call my two aunts who are getting older, and I send cards to family and friends all the time. I miss my favorite aunt - she is so easy to talk to. She kind of reminds me of you.<br /><br />love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829885494251858318.post-1880519651619300642014-08-19T05:37:28.125-07:002014-08-19T05:37:28.125-07:00Joanne, I sent a card to a man we used to live by....Joanne, I sent a card to a man we used to live by. When I would see him and his wife, I would think they are beautiful and have a good life. She passed away 2 years ago....I send him cards and I sign my daughters' names also. He saw my children grow up , as I did his two . Plus I always remember my mom's old friends and a lady from when we were little kids....still living her house where she was when I was a kid.. We have to share our love or it isn't any good, is it? xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829885494251858318.post-35205177075904495052014-08-18T20:46:19.865-07:002014-08-18T20:46:19.865-07:00such a great reminder and it only take a few momen...such a great reminder and it only take a few moments out of the day to brighten their lives.

We have some charities in our town that furnish food to the needy, along with household needs of Toilet tissues, paper towels, soaps and such. I think the elderly can have that also. I just have had Betty on my mind. My sister remarked that , that is where we are headed one day. I think some times they just need hugs and kind words. I know I like that now. :):) xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829885494251858318.post-51618958208911317392014-08-18T20:34:31.424-07:002014-08-18T20:34:31.424-07:00I really don't think the older ones in homes c...I really don't think the older ones in homes care if they know you or not...just saying hello and smiling makes some happy.

That is so sad, I try to send her a card every so often and send her a few dollars. In her last letter she was saying, to have air conditioning..you have to provide your own..sad.. And pay for your own soda, bottled water, shampoo etc. This nursing home is in Wisconsin..which is a long ways from us. Anyway, you are so right just letting someone know you care is very important! A card will go off to her and a couple others tomorrow, thanks for that reminder!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />GertGerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155756653275943469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829885494251858318.post-69987572129586186252014-08-18T18:37:03.966-07:002014-08-18T18:37:03.966-07:00How very true.

But every poor soul there , once had a different life. Once had a home with children, who were happy to see them when they got home from work. It makes me wonder, did I give my mother and father enough of my time. I know I truly tried. xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829885494251858318.post-28042774284891896012014-08-18T14:27:32.752-07:002014-08-18T14:27:32.752-07:00Judy, No matter how old you may have been, when yo...Judy, No matter how old you may have been, when you visited your father, you were still his little girl. :):) I am sure he enjoyed every visit.

Loneliness is such a hard feeling to deal with and it is amazing what a card or phone call or visit can do to help with that feeling.
