I saw an old
old old lady on a street looking at me as I walked home. She was a tiny person who looked like in her
80s. I don’t know if she has home or a family, but she was on the street
sitting there alone. She looked so thin
and was very dirty. I ended up going
home, put some food in a Ziploc, and went back there for her. She was afraid of me as I walked closer and
accepted my food with a weak smile.
I am not
sure if there is a nursing home in Guatemala, but I see a lot of old people on
streets begging for money, sometimes with their grandchildren, but most of the
times, alone. I just hope they do have a
family that they can go back to. If not,
what kind of life can they have at that age?
