I met my “old person” at church when I was Nora’s age. Half the time, we couldn’t get through a sermon without him turning around, looking at me and popping his dentures out as a way to get me to laugh really loud. He’d arrive at church 30 minutes early, wait for me to finish helping my grandma clean up her Sunday school class, and we’d go set up for children’s church. We’d meet after church for lunch. He’d color on the kid’s menu with me. He helped me learn how to read really early on. Help me sound out really big words. Was sure to let me know that I was unstoppable. That I could do ANYTHING. I’m 25, and my “old person” is gone now. But I could never be sad, because he taught me so much. Certainly taught me that you can have a bit of fun in serious situations. He was the church jokester. At his memorial, they played a video of him popping out his dentures. Out of the 300 that attended, some giggled, but they were all looking at me. I was the one cracking up. That then lightened the mood, and everyone knew they could actually laugh. His wife looked back at me, mouthing a thank you. I didn’t realize that was a relief she needed in the moment.

This happened to me last year. I had gotten some bad news from my Dr. and stopped at the store on my way home. A little girl riding past me in the cart reached out and touched my arm. She told her Grandma to stop and reached over and took my hand. I was shocked, she had the biggest angelic grin as she excitedly told me her name was Anna. Well, I couldn't help but smile back and tell her my name. For the next 5 or 6 min she told me all about her life experiences as a 3 year old. She told me jokes, we sang cartoon theme songs right there in the cereal isle of Kroger's. She was so delightful that i'd forgotten my sour mood. Her mom joined us and we discovered we have a lot in common. The whole family have become my friends. Anna comes to play dates with my niece. They will be pirate princesses when they grow up.

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

Like the highlight of this story was the unlikely friendship. All these folks making ASSumtions about the gentleman's family is such a sad reflection of the negativity that shrouds most peoples perceptions. Most of His family lives 2 states away. I live 2 countries away from my family. It's not cuz we aren't close. Not everything falls within the limited scope of many people's little tiny box

[@shannonbriggs100]

Unfortunately... when you get old, the friends you have start passing away one by one. My dad is 66 and nearly every month someone he knows is dying or has already passed. Most elderly people are lucky to still live close to their children/grandchildren and get visits often but some have children/grandchildren that moved far away (like a different state/country). They’ll visit often at first but eventually the visits become rare and the phone calls dwindle. I’ve seen it happen and it’s sad.
