We had a new resident move in. She appeared to be about 80 years old. When people arrive, I like to ask some simple questions to try and get aquainted with them. So I asked Erma, "Do you have any children?" Erma answered, "Yes, I have one daughter. And since my husband is dead, there won't be any more either."

You're Everything...
by Kay Heitsch
I looked up and saw Noah, a frail 93 year old resident, standing in the door way. I walked over to him and noticed he needed his hair combed. I got a comb out of the drawer. After slicking Noah's hair down with the wet comb I gave him a hug. While I was hugging him he said, "You're everything a man could want!"

The Lord Provides
by Kay Heitsch
As I was walking down the hall I heard Ruth calling me. I turned around to see what she wanted. In a whisper she said, "My bra came unfastened. Would you please fasten it up for me?" I lifted the back of her blouse and fastened the bra. Ruth turn around and looked at me. With a little smile on her face she said, "Thank you, see how the Lord provides?"

True Confessions
by Kay Heitsch
I sat down across the table from a new 93 year old resident. We began talking when out of the blue she let me in on some personal information. "This is my natural hair color," she said in a matter a of fact way. I thought with a smile, "Gee, I wouldn't have known grey would be natural at her young age." Trying not to crack up I said, "Well, since this is true confession time, I should tell you that this is not my natural hair color." With a bit of snootiness in her voice she answered, "Well, to each his own."

These Are Not Mine!
by Kay Heitsch
One afternoon when I came into work, Martha met me with a distraught look on her face. I asked her what was wrong. Martha put both hands on her chest and said, "These are not mine!" I wasn't sure what the problem was, but later learned that Martha's son had brought in a new padded bra that morning. I told Bill about Martha and how upset she was. Without missing a beat Bill said, "Of course Martha was upset, she only wanted a new bra not a boob job!"

You're # 1.

After I gave a little hug to one of my favorite residents, he smiled and said, "You're #1 with me. And I'll tell you right now, #2 is not going to like it, not one little bit."
