Tablemates at the Assisted Living Home
All in their nineties
One with a soft voice
One with a kind smile
One affectionately dubbed the old guy
All hard of hearing
The tablemates eat mostly in silence.
They have tried to have conversations.
Now it is a few words here and there.
Smiles
Nods
Patted hands in greeting
Waves goodbye
Affection expressed
Simply Silence
