Last night at church we had Wednesday night supper, and were fortunate enough to have a holocaust survivor come and talk to us it was a hard thing to hear but I am glad that I could be there for it. It will not be much longer and those people will not be around the share their stories. After he was finished I was in standing in the entrance of the church talking with members, when a little old man walked slowly up to me. He had his coat in his hand and asked if I could help him put it on cause he could not get his arms in. This got me thinking….. It is so hard for me to let anyone help me especially for me to walk up to someone and ask for help. I wonder what I will be like when I get his age, if I am blessed enough to make it that long. I can kind of see the struggle my granddad has not. He does not like asking for help, but I know there are things that he just can not do anymore. I try to watch him when I go up to his house in the mtns and he is there. I know he is like me and does not like asking for help. I just want to be there to give it to him when I can.
