Wisdom

An old lady at the elevator on our way to the doctor's clinic sang to our little one with much gusto. She sounded like she performed quite a lot in her hay days. And then she covered her eyes with her face, she was sobbing. My husband thought she has gone crazy, but afterwards she gathered herself up and smiled again. She must be very lonely. My heart goes out to her.

She was a graceful little old lady with red lipstick and matching scarves, sunglasses, and brooch. I wonder if her family has abandoned her or if she ever had a family of her own. I thought she may be missing her children and grandchildren or perhaps realized what she has been missing out all these years.

I hope she will die gracefully and peacefully...
