I told her nonsense that is why we are here and sat to chat to her for a moment. Reaching out she took my hand and whispered 'I know there are angels now' I had difficulty holding back the tears

Goodness me Meg, I'd have dissolved, I know I would.
Bless their old hearts ey.
I helped looked after an old chap, Charlie, of 101 and I cried buckets when he died. I loved him like my own Grandad.

One of the nicest compliments I have had was while working in a nursing home as a night auxiliary night nurse . I popped my head around a patients door and asked him if he was ok. he replied 'I am now I have seen your face' .
