She’d needed, someone who can make her feel useful, make her feel, that she still has something to give to this world…
Someone who can listen to her tell about her life experiences, she’d needed, because, as she ages, she’d felt, less, and less useful, as she’d lost the abilities she used to have, little by little each and every day, and, she’d wanted to contribute to this world, or, she feared that she’d left nothing behind.
Someone who can listen to her tell about her life experiences, and hope, take some wisdoms from her life away, so, her life will have meaning, but who? Certainly NOT her kids, they’d had enough of her wisdom their whole life, who else? Strangers? She can’t just, go up to someone she’d just seen, and start talking to the person about the previous parts of her life, that’d be too weird!
Someone who can listen to her tell about her life experiences, she just wanted to know, that her life has meaning, even IF it was, nearing end, she’d wanted to leave something behind, ANYTHING, but what? If she has NOBODY to listen to her tell about her life experiences, wouldn’t it mean, that her life, had NO purpose at all???
Someone who can listen to her tell about her life experiences, she felt she had a LOT of wisdom, to offer to the younger generations, it’s just that those kids in the younger generations are way too busy in their separate lives, to pay ANY attention to her!
