There's a special place in heaven for people like you. My wife and I work with the elderly and we find that isolation is the worst thing for anyone at any age, particularly the elderly. It may take a while to get them started, but most elderly people love to have someone to chat with. I have a patient who is 94, lives alone, and flew 29 bombing missions in WWII over France and Germany. He is sharp as a tack, and last time I was at his house, he took out his scrap books and showed me photos that would just blow your mind. He told me stories about the war and flying missions and by the time I left, we were both practically in tears.

I've tried twice to see what this fella did and I won't do it again. He walked off the boat and had people spitting on him calling him a baby killer. His wife and two kids left. His house was ransacked. He has no idea what happened to his dog. All I know he was in the Navy and served in Vietnam. He was harassed for years.
