Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Making Last Memories


--by princessliz, posted May 24, 2013
She was fragile and well on in years. 
 
Her original care taker had broken a limb and was unable to perform her usual duties but someone else was holding the fort while she recovered.
 
We visited her for the Christmas Barrel drive. She was weak, and unable to talk, but she was able to hold our hands. We dropped by to give items that were donated by lots of people around the island. 
 
It was a team effort. We also visited an orphanage, single parents and a young disabled man.
 
It was not long after our visit that she passed away. I'm glad she was able to experience kindness and we were able to experience her humility and grace. The entire team was touched and very happy to have made a positive contribution to her last days (with the help of the young woman who was nursing her.) 
 
We were also thankful for our fellow islanders who opened their hearts to give to the less fortunate in the way that they did.
