Author/friend, Natalie Tucker Miller shared a moving video on her Facebook page and I just had to share it with you. Natalie's book, Lavender Ladies is a first of its kind picture book for elders. I have the book and it is absolutely beautiful.
When I watched this video it reminded me of the volunteer work Frankie and I do visiting Libby's House once a month. We stay for an hour and just listen, offer a hug, time to pet Frankie, or Frankie takes turns sitting on laps, or she lays down in her wheelchair while we visit with the residents. A few weeks ago a woman I'll call Jane, pet Frankie for the first time in six months. She has always been very afraid of dogs… but Frankie finally grew on her. :) She couldn't stop laughing as Frankie licked and licked her hand. It was awesome.
