The meaning of life


"As I turn 89, I’m sitting alone in a retirement home with a plate of ravioli in front of me. I don’t know who made them, and I don’t know if anyone will remember my birthday.
I have three children. I haven’t seen them in a long time. They brought me here, saying it was for my own good, but as the days pass, the phone stays silent. No calls, no visits.
I’m not angry—just sad. Sad because, no matter how much time has gone by, I never stopped loving them. Sad because I don’t ask for much—just a hug, a kind word, a simple “Happy Birthday, Dad.”
I just wish someone would remember me.
At my age, you live on memories and hope. And today, my hope is that this message reaches those who have forgotten the importance of love and family—before it’s too late."

To all the fathers and grandfathers left alone, you are loved—even if sometimes, no one says it.

Happy birthday ( I didn’t’ see your name on what you put on Facebook)
I am so sorry this happened to you. Happy birthday and if I lived near you, I would come to say hello.
If my mom or dad were alive and in a nursing home, I would be over there as much as possible until they weren’t here anymore I think this is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen that children would put their parent in a nursing home and leave them. God bless you, sir and I hope you have more birthdays to come.
Sincerely,
Sue

Sue Jones yes it does happen. My Mom in a nursing home over 4 yrs till called home to Jesus. The nurses told my husband and I most of patients get visits from family usually rarely. Others all by their selves no visits from any family or friends ds. Nurse says why so you make the trip out in the country nearly every day except if sick? My husband said I was in the service over 20 yrs. Getting home to visit Between new assignments. I wanted my wife to spend time with her Mom as I didn.t get to do much. Later my Mom in same nursing home and by then we lives way north in Maine.long ways. She passed before he knew It. So He would make the trip so mother and daughter could be together for a meal or a chat stay for a hour or more. Got to bring our small dog and boy she perked up. She loved that doggie 😍. She was prone to depression missing her adult children. The others on west coast. So the visits really made her feel better I think. I Thank my Dear late husband for insight to this loneliness All because he never got to spend quality time with his Mom because of distance like Japan etc. As he wanted me to spend time with her. What a difference in her attitude!

Carly Piso It is also possible that he was an abusive parent. He was not always old and feeble. You did not know him when he was younger and stronger. I am not saying that he was a child abuser. But his children may have good reason for avoiding him.

Happy Birthday! Best Wishes! Think good thoughts, keep active, enjoy even the little things. You have been blessed with a long life. Don't dwell on the negative! Keep a smile on your face and enjoy the people and activities around you. A smile can be magnetic! Live in the moment! Some things we can't control; however, our attitude towards things is something that we can control. Don't let anyone or anything spoil your joy! ❤

Happy birthday sir. I know you have done morethan enough good deeds to your family and those good deeds are likewise morethan enough to relieve your sorrows and make you feel happy. I believe that your children do still love you and have not forgotten you, but perhaps that they are just very busy working hard for their family as what you did for them. So cheer up, after all, they have made you as their model in taking care also of their respective family. So, that shows that they do love you still!

Carolina Enriquez I understand that. I didn't dote on my mom.she had a strength about her, I always hung onto. But life gets you older and sometimes a little misplaced.I know now that I would have spent more days with her., and urged hard to give her things to see a beauteful. Smile. I trued to call her as much as I could, and sit with her on the porch. My mother out of al she gave me as a child as a teenager surpasses anything here on earth. She said were going to church, so every Sunday bible class and sermon and prayers. And my journey into this life has given me a strength as well. O do know who Jesus is, in fact i don't know anything much. But I believe, and I was given this peace at 5. I am human , a struggling believer in God Jesus and the holy spirit. We sometimes grow away from the church that God made you see. But we are Gods Children Eben of we accept it or not. My dad was a loving father. And in his more quiet way to faith was also filled with good times, laughter, compassion. I use to hear the phone ring late at night or early hours, and it was a call from Missouri where his family lived. And I knew iny heart it was because someone he loved, someone he knew had passed. Then I also knew when he would hang up the phone. And cry. I tried to comfort NY a hug

U are loved. Especially on Facebook. I know how you feel. Please always remember you are not alone. We are all connected, even though most don't know it. Start looking into Buddhism. It's not a religion but rather a way of life and will help you. Trust me.
