What is the first impression that you get when you think of a sweet old lady? More than likely, you envision a kind soul sitting in a rocking chair and watching the world go by in front of her with a smile on her face. Although that may be true to a certain extent, senior citizens also experience life in much the same way as everyone else. Sometimes, we tend to forget that fact but as this old lady is about to show you, it’s good to be reminded and she reminded us in the funniest way possible:
This letter was sent to the Lions Bay School Principal’s office in West Vancouver 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.
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 Vancouver 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. 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 f*** off.
Thank you for that wonderful opportunity. God bless you all.
Sincerely, Edna
