I came across a brilliant lady today,and want to share with you. She was bending with age,couldnt walk fast rather,was limping.I asked if I could drop her home.Firstly she denied then decided to get in my car.I asked her why at this age she had to come such a long way walking, to the market and return loaded with shopping for the week. she replied she lived alone with her paralysed husband all alone and her children were settled in other countries.I felt bad but was really wondering how at this age she managed her house.She was so bubbling of spirits that I couldnot hold my tears.When she asked me for a cup of tea,i stepped to the house and lo! it was so neat and clean and so well decorated with flowers and her handworks. My Hats of to such brilliant lady,yours.

I would be very moved by a person such as her as well. I know people in some countries are so self-sufficient, they may feel insulted by an offer of help. I think a lot of it may have to do with having had to depend on herself for so long that she knows not other way to live. I have seen people who you would think couldn't do anything doing more than I could imagine doing but they have done it all their life so it doesn't seem hard to them. It's probably all she has ever known. I agree...my hat is off to her!!!
