Love,respect, care is what I was taught
While driving around for work. I stopped at a red light. I was watching this asian(elderly) lady walking with her walker and struggling with a few shopping bags.
I saw people walk past her as if she was a piece of dirt.
So I did a u-turn.
I asked her if I could drop her home, she agreed. (turned out she only lived a street away) but that's not the point.
The point is..
Elderly people struggle to have a shower or to even go to the toilet.
For her she just went to buy her weekly shopping(still trying to be independent)
But with all this virus thing.
She was worn out today from shopping.
Everyone who's capable can panic buy.
But for her two pack of bread is everything for her for the next 2weeks. She will be on the sofa for one whole day recovering from that one walk and shopping.
Yes I understand we all have to be careful,
But dont forget to be humans.
And still watch out for one another.
Just because shes an Asian doesnt mean shes to blame.. ❤
