I see you

By Bev Wilkinson

I was chatting to a senior and she told me there comes a time in your life that you become invisible.

Suddenly your not there and people don’t see you, maybe because the blinkers have been taken off my eyes but I asked how? But I can see you?

She told me sometimes she could be physically there but ignored, people don’t think she is anyone special just a little old lady.

Then pointed at me and said one day it could be you.

I thought this was really sad, this was a lady that had achieved so much she had taught and helped pave the way for generations to succeed in life.

This article is dedicated to my Grandmas who lived, loved and dreamed.

This was a lady who had a wicked sense of humor and so much still to share.

I am glad that I had the ability to get to know her and see beyond the old lady mask.

Sometimes we forget the oldies lived a life where they were young, they loved, they taught, they travelled and most of all they gained knowledge, which should be shared.

Maybe my dream is big but I want to make every senior feel like a star and make younger generations see.

Just like I have.
