Recently my 90-year-old neighbor celebrated her anniversary. Having decided to congratulate her, I took a small cake and went to her. But what I saw in her house deeply touched me and made me think 😢 I am sharing this story 👇👇
I decided to visit my 90-year-old neighbor to congratulate her on her birthday, but was shocked
My neighbor and I weren’t particularly close, but we always had warm conversations. She shared interesting stories, and I tried to pay attention to her, because I knew that she lived alone: ​​her husband had died long ago, and her children had moved away.
Having learned about her anniversary, I decided to congratulate her. I thought that her relatives would throw a party, and I would just drop by a little later with a cake.
When I arrived, I was greeted by a perfectly cleaned house and a set table, but… there were no guests. The neighbor was sitting in a chair, watching TV, as if trying to distract herself from sad thoughts.
She smiled warmly when she saw me and invited me to sit down. We started talking, and her words broke my heart. It turned out that none of her relatives had even called her that day.
I spent more time with her than I had planned, trying to brighten up her loneliness. She treated me to home-cooked meals that she cooked in the hope that children or grandchildren would eventually appear.
This meeting made me think: how often do we forget to show attention to our loved ones, taking their love for granted?
Please call your relatives. Visit them. This is the most precious thing for them. Because one day it may be too late…
