love music and old movies. gardening, and looking after my grandchildren and family outings.
my love of music and old movies comes from time with my mother. we have always been a close family that have tried to help each other and relatives in need. I was a carer for my mother who had alzeimers for several years and lived with me for her last 3yrs. we would sit and listen to music and watch old movies for her . i nursed her at home until she passed surrounded with her family. I strongly believe that we need to respect our elders and treat everyone as an individual no matter the age or race of a person.
