More clothes to the second hand shop and then going to Residential care. I cleaned out one of the ladies closets at the nursing home, as she cannot physically do it.

We take family for granted and only realize that when you don't have anyone, no one does the little, special things that are needed. Like getting rid of clothes, books and other stuff that some of these people don't need or want them anymore.
I had a good time doing this and the lady loved it. Sad that some of it was years old and not appropriate anymore. My point really is that friends and family look after a lot of the little things these people need attention to. Those without any family or friends, don't seem to get this help.
I then bought her three of those warm long sleeved light thermal tops to keep her warm. I am not supposed to do this, but how do they get them if no one is seeing what she needs? We take for granted so much until we realize that not everyone has " that someone" to help them. I like being that "someone".
