"He is staring at me, he is staring at me" a 99 year old woman was referring to me. It happened while I was talking and I was looking at her. She was very afraid but I told her, "It is me, the person who played the drum with you." She replied, "the drum" and I said yes the drum. She finally smiled to me.

"what can an old lady like me do anymore?"
This morning a woman who is in her 90s said, "what can an old lady like me do anymore?" She walked very slow and get help from her friend. I responded to her, "we are all getting old." But she said, "while touching my face, she said you are very young." I know this woman referred very much on the "age" aspect but I was very fortunate to have talked with her. A woman with many experiences in her life!
