Middlebrook Farms

Whenever I go to Middlebrook Farms, an assisted living home in Trumbull, I see people there who feel lost and abandoned. Once, I was told by one of the residents that her daughter was tired of taking care of her so she put her in a home. I almost started to cry when she was telling me this story. Right then and there, I made a mental vow to myself to never "throw" someone close to me into an assisted living home if they didn't want to be there.

Around ten minutes to five, some residents are coming down to go to dinner. I love seeing them walk out of the elevator holding hands and smiling. This shows me that love can last forever. One time, I had to help Betty reach Gus when he was in the hospital. The nurses wouldn't even tell her why he was there or when he was going to get out. I stayed in her apartment for half an hour calling Gus. He finally picked up and she was relieved. Right before she hung up, she said, "I love you Gus, I miss you." It was adorable. Seeing true love for eachother will always Gives Me Hope.
