Excerpt from:  Tuesdays with Edie
.
October 05, 2005

Make a senior smile, take the time to treat them well.

Seniors, like children, have a way of making people smile.

I barged in on Kennys' date with Edie last Tuesday. I'm always invited to come along, but I enjoy my Tueday evenings with a few hours to myself.

It happens to be the Jewish New Year and since last Passover, Edie hasn't been to our house. She can't get up the steps anymore.

So we went out for dinner.

Over the last year I've been noticing more and more, how nice people are to the aging. I'm sure I'm noticing more because of Edie.

When we went to dinner last night she was treated like a queen from the moment she walked in.

She came through the door with her Hugo ( her fancy wheeled walker) and they started moving tables and chairs to open a way to the table.

Edie got alot of attention. At the age of 89, she spends alot of her time alone. It's nice to see the caring and attention she gets from people. It certainly a boost to her morale.

I must say when Edie goes out, she always has a big smile on her face and will talk to anyone who would spend time with her.

It's nice to know that people care to talk.

Take the time.
