On Tuesday afternoons, I escort a grannie client to a current events discussion group at her senior lifestyle residence. For numerous reasons, I don't attend myself.
What fun it was swinging by to pick her this afternoon & whisk her off for ice cream. EVERYONE who came out of the conference room seemed all lit up within. My g.c. was filled with enthusiasm for the day's discussion. She talked about it throughout our drive to Ben & Irv's, while she dipped into her mint chocolate chip ice cream, and was still beaming when I dropped her back home.
Her greatest praise? "My parents would have LOVED today's discussion!" When she says something like that, I know that her Mom & Dad are very present with her, in the loveliest possible way.
Always makes me smile, helping an older friend enjoy a golden afternoon.
