This was really wonderful and brought tears to my eyes. I now have two old
ladies living here, both over 10 years of age and I will never let them go,
they are so precious to me. If I were to go before they do I know my
daughter would take them in and love them as much as I do. It's a good
feeling.
Why do people discard the old ones when they need the most care? I have
never understood that.
