I recently started volunteering at an assisted living residence for seniors as a Music Therapy Assistant. Being around so many seniors totally puts a different perspective on life; even more so with many of the seniors at 90+ years old and some even centenarians.
One such resident, Donald, is 99 this year. He sits beside his sweetheart, another resident, Daisy, during Music Therapy. The staff at the residence tell me they met at another home and have been inseparable for over 20 years. Donald is so adorable with Daisy. They're like little kids who are so in love. Donald says that when he turns 100 he's going to marry Daisy.
It's worth the volunteer time just to see them together and makes me look forward to growing old with my husband and keep that spark alive.
That is the sweetest story I've read and what life is all about. That and trips to Auckland! Hope you're having a great time and looking forward to hearing more!
