Pam,

I have always found the elderly to be among the most interesting and inspiring of people. Mind you they will tell you exactly what they think, but that is refreshing. I certainly realize this is not the situation you ever expected to find yourself and I feel for you, I truly do. All I can offer is that many of those ladies love hobbies and are very good at them, even if a bit mentally challenged so often the fingers will still nimbly thread the needle to embroider or flash those knitting needles. Life brings so many changes and seasons. I am proud of your courage and all that I know you will find to give to those around you in your new environment. You are a true gem among us. I am confident you will bless and be blessed. Bloom where you are planted....
