I am doing a volunteer friendship call twice a week to a local 78 yr old who lives alone.
Very entertaining chats...tonight she ranted for a good 15 minutes about Trump and the police.
She has been telling me about her memories of pre tv, bringing up her kids, working as a nurse (in the same hospital as my mum by a weird coincidence) and her love of walking.
I wish some of those who say that it's "only the old and sick" who are affected could talk to someone like her...they'd realise what a loss to our world that generation are.
Too many have gone before their time cos of the virus especially in care homes.
It don't matter to me if "they only had a few years left" ... they, like every other victim of the virus are a loss.
Have only been speaking to her for 3 weeks (6 calls) but have learnt a lot of history and ideas from her.
Feel very lucky to chat with and learn from her.
Probably got **** all to do with the current chat but just thought
@PISKIE needed a bit of hippy company
