Sometimes we see the end
I have been visiting a nursing home everyday. As I open the first door and enter the vestibule the pungent odor of urine burns my nostrils. I have not yet determined if it is human or animal urine. Why they can't seem to clean up the vestibule, I guess I'll never know. The rest of the place seems pretty clean.
I can't help but see many elderly folks looking very unhappy. Many of them appear hopeless. I want to help them. I smile and some smile back, but many look at me as if to say 'you have no idea what it's like living here.' They are correct. I have no idea what it is like to be in that place day and night, losing my freedom and mobility. For many of those people that will be the last place they live. I want to help them.
