Yestarday after we went to church & ate lunch we decided to go visit my Great-Aunt in the Nursing Home. Chloe had never been to one so didn't know how she would do. She was very observant, quite bashful most of the time and that is VERY unusual for Chloe, as she is always the funny/hyper little girl! We took some Christmas gifts for my Aunt and visited a while. All of the residents there were so extremely happy to see such a cute, little girl to visit with, they kept asking her questions and wanting to see her snowman bracelet. Nursing Homes can be helpful to families that have no other result but they can be sad as well, especially the elderly that have no family or some never have visitors to spend time with them. We all went to the Dining Hall to watch a Christmas square-dancing with the residents there, it was quite entertaining & fun to watch their faces light up.
I recommend anyone that hasn't been before or in a long time to go visit with the men & women that are in the Nursing Homes, You NEVER know what that little time you take to go by or that smile you give them could lift their spirits so Very Much! Quite a Nice Experiece with Chloe....as she got her Dr's bag/supplies out as we got to my Mom's house, she was wanting to be a nurse at the Nursing Home!
