Senior Citizens cry, dance, rejoice when GENTRI surprises them with their own Christmas concert

[@Morelove4ever8]

This made me tear up. I took care of my grandma until she died at 92 and visitors made such a difference! Some never had visitors and it was so sad!

[@loveforeignaccents]

RIP to your grandma; I'm sure she is in a lovely place watching over you, her lovely and caring granddaughter. Hope many memories you shared together bring a smile to your face and heart, Debbie!

[@lwchelsie]

Ugh, this makes me cry. I’m helping my fiancé take care of his grandmother now. She’s in her 90’s & her kids never come to see her. Breaks my heart for her that we’re the only ones she sees day in & day out. I almost resent her kids for not coming to see her being only hours away🥺😫💔

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@lwchelsie Try not to feel resentment, although I can understand it's probably hard not to, but just know what a difference you and your fiance are making in improving her quality of life, and you guys are definitely earning your angels' wings!! Congrats on the upcoming nupitals and hope you two have many healthy, happy years together!!

[@Morelove4ever8]

Thank you! I learned a lot! Her sons didn’t come visit her so it was just me. My mom had died in 99.

[@Morelove4ever8]

I completely get that frustration when their own kids won’t come to visit them. My uncles didn’t even come down before she died when she was given days to live and one only lived an hour and a half away. It was painful to see her hurt every birthday and Christmas, etc.

The young lady at the end reminded me of my mommy. She loved music and dancing. My boys and grandma had a little dance party before I took them to school every morning. Even when she was at her sickest my older 2 boys would hold her up so she could dance with them. She didn't want to miss out. We lost her 5 yrs ago she is missed everyday but her memories are alive. RIP Mommy

Focus on the good, such as this, and step up to make them not so sad!

[@passion777able]

Sorry, I don't think this is a nursing home. It's a retirement home for independent living seniors. I am 75 and live in such a community. Our residents still drive cars and get around but some like me, gave up my car. Too expensive to maintain but I miss desperately the independence of my old car, a Toyota. SO I get around on a Pace Bus or taxis, a private chauffeur I call them. So maybe Santa will bring me a new, used car to help me. I live alone but I'm not sad, I have many hobbies and interests to keep me busy Sad are the people that never developed a hobby.

@@passion777able Yes hobbies are very important I have a senior citizen neighbor that I keep an eye out on. When Covid hit here in San Antonio really hard and everything was flying off the shelves in the grocery store I went over to check on him to make sure he had things that he needed and we started to develop a friendship and I check on him every day and I walk his dog for him every night with my dog to give his dog a nice long walk because my neighbors knees are in really bad shape and he can’t walk very far. But he gets out and drives and goes places. I’m 55 and when I’m not working and I have free time I make jewelry it’s a fun hobby. have a blessed day

[@koreanaccord177]

No idea who these young men are, but this segment took me through a whirlwind of memories along with my passion for our elders; while I care for my mother who's lived through two wars, and a stroke. Our local Meals on Wheels was a life saver for my parents years ago. I encouraged my mom to volunteer with my dad, they loved it, and it's since closed. Thank you SO much for spreading their joy, and allowing us to share in one of their most touching/uplifting moments.

Gentri has my respect, what a great group of guys

[@christopherobrien6570]

My father lived his last 2 years in a care home. We are lucky that he had 6 kids, all of us over 50, and at that time, 3 of us were 60 and over. This meant we were ourselves retired, and one of us, and our children, and their children, could see him every day. ( For the record, Dad had 6 kids, 15 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren, 2 more have come along in the last year, thye'll never meet him, but they'll know about him in due course) Some ladies and gentlemen were not so lucky, some of their families had jobs and could only get there once a week or less. Some didn't have anyone, so we tried to go over and spend time with them, and get to know them. Our Care Workers are unsung heroes. So, to Care Workers around the world, thank you, and never think we don't appreciate you. And good work Guys, wherever your lives take you, may you get there in peace and happiness.
