The visiting to the nursing home today was a very special and meaningful experience for me. It was my first time to visit such a place. At first, I felt very nerous because I was not sure if my English could be understood by the old. I worried a lot about our communication. However, when the lady came, I found even if we indeed had some trouble with communicating she was so friendly and tired to understand our words. Her attitude made me relax a lot. When we were playing game, I just found that she was just as cute as a child - she wanted to win the prize. Seeing her smiling face just made me so happy. And then another lady came. We attempted to greet her but she could hardly response anything maybe because of her illness. She just sat there so quietly that we thought she might not like us. But what happened next touched my heart deeply. When she would like to drink her coffee but couldn't reach it, one of the voulunteers helped her. Then she smiled and watched her with love in her eyes, saying "Thank you". Just at that moment, my tears almost went out. I understood that she would like to talk with us but she just could't somehow. I could even imagine how sad she was.
It gives me a lot. I cherish my family even more.
Thanks.
