When I grow up . . .

Tweet

I have, over the years, met some really stand out "older ladies". I told Bob today that when I grow up I want to be like Gladys. She is in her 90's and uses a motorized wheelchair. I actually think she and her husband share it and takes turns with the walker and the motorized chair. She keeps her hair colored, and wears "interesting" clothes. She paints in her eyebrows. She is always genuinely pleased to see you. She has good lifetime advice. She always seems to be positive. I do not think she and Gene have been married very many years. Unless one of them is in the hospital, they show up. We do not have automatic doors at church, so someone will hold the door for them to go in and out. Gene was inside talking, so today she just zipped out, up onto the ramp for the chair. She carefully got down, and held the truck to steady herself. I asked if she needed help and she said no, she would just hold on and get in. We all kind of look out for one another when we can.
