THE SENSITIVITY OF SENIORS …

This letter was sent to the Lions Bay School Principal's Office in
West Geelong after the school had sponsored a luncheon for seniors.
 
An elderly lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door raffle prize
and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.
 
I am forwarding to someone who might need a lift today!
 

Dear Lions Bay School,

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent Senior
Citizens Luncheon. I am 87 years old and live at the West Geelong Home
for the Aged.
 
All of my family has passed away so I am all alone. I want to thank
you for the kindness you have shown to a forgotten old lady.
 
My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio; but she would
never let me listen to it. She said it belonged to her long dead
husband, and understandably, wanted to keep it safe.

The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a dozen
pieces. It was awful and she was in tears.
 
She asked if she could listen to mine, and I was overjoyed that I
could tell her to fuck off.
 
Thank you for that wonderful opportunity.

God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Edna
