Evelyn may be 98, but she refuses to be seen as useless, and she won’t let that stop her from being there for the people who need her.

Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
I just love this beautiful video and message. thanks for spreading the kindness, no matter how old we are, kindness should be our purpose!
Indeed it should be! You’re most welcome. =)
Such a cute vid… This makes me think bout my own granny… she might feel alone too, cause her husband died 2 years ago and her rabbit one year ago, this must be hard. Now she’s mostly alone, with no one (except her other rabbit). I don’t visit she often, because she is an old lady and it’s kinda boring… but, maybe…, i should do it… it takes about 50 minutes to drive to her house with the bus, but she’s about 80 years old and, of course, she won’t be there for ever… I love her and I can remember times when I visit her 1 a month and no 3-5 times a year. Yeah, life is hard and this is maybe the best time to fill in a quote:
I finally feel like I’m finding my way
and not just living day by day
I’m doing what I love
I’m going where I want to go
I’m being who I want to be
I’m happy
Andy you know what? I think everyone deserves
to feel the same way.

What I am trying to say is: Be happy, be there for the people you love and live your life
Fantastic advice! That’s what it’s all about–being there for the people we love.
