A Cup of Christmas Tea by Tom Hegg
Told in a rhyming fashion.
Story of a man in high school that has received an invite to visit his elderly aunt. He remembers when she was so active and since the stroke he's avoided her, only wants to remember her the way she was.
He goes there and is amazed at how she still decorates every nook and tabletop with festive things. He is also amazed that she can still get around and makes them tea.
He can't believe she is also very much interested in the things he does. He was so dreading going and now he's thoroughly happy and to me it seems he will visit more often.
It's hard to visit those who are aging in front of our eyes and it's the visits they really count on no matter how much they really hurt us.
Had asked my spouse on a trip to Ohio several years to go visit his aging uncle in a nursing home, he had dementia and didn't even know who we were but he enjoyed his time with us and remembering his brothers and wives and though we were one of them.
Hurt us but we really needed to go and last time there was last picture we have of him with us. Sad not many other relatives out of the hundreds who even lived closer wouldn't go visit.
