"As I turn 89, I’m sitting alone in a retirement home with a plate of ravioli in front of me. I don’t know who made them, and I don’t know if anyone will remember my birthday. I have three children. I haven’t seen them in a long time. They brought me here, saying it was for my own good, but as the days pass, the phone stays silent. No calls, no visits. I’m not angry, just sad. Sad because, no matter how much time has gone by, I never stopped loving them. Sad because I don’t ask for much, just a hug, a kind word, a simple “Happy Birthday, Dad.” I just wish someone would remember me. At my age, you live on memories and hope. And today, my hope is that this message reaches those who have forgotten the importance of love and family, before it’s too late." Take care of your parents. Call them! If they live in a facility, INVITE THEM TO YOUR HOME AT LEAST ON SUNDAYS! A life with regrets is not a life. Last thought. Please don't ask for his address. I don't have it, and even If I do, I would never share it publicly for his safely. #Family
My mother came to live with my husband and me until she passed last year. While there were difficult days, I wouldn't have had it any other way. Nursing homes can be heartbreaking, and I am reminded that no one has a "perfect" childhood. We all may have had hard times. We should all strive to ensure that no one—especially our parents—ever has to face their later years in isolation. Life is short, and we only go through it once, so let’s cherish the time we have together.
Very sad and heartbreaking news. We don’t choose parents. In any case we have to take care of and live with our parents. We should treat them as they grew up us since childhood
It’s a shame things like this happen
Your maker remembers you, because he knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb, he set you apart. So, don't ever forget, you are special. I love you with the love of God.
My heart goes out to you. I have a mother that’s 95 years old and I can’t imagine seeing her in a nursing home. I wish your kids could see the value and having a loving parent still on this earth. As I tear up, I send you a great big hug. 🤗
Happy Birthday 🎁🎈🎂
