Greater Barrington
Five families in our neighborhood visited patients at Governors Park Nursing Home. It was surprising how young some of the residents were. One 40-year-old mom from our group became attached to a patient about her age who had a husband and young children. There were even patients in 
their 20's.
All the patients were happy to have visitors so they could share stories about their family history. The kids seemed to enjoy all the attention and the opportunity to make these people happy.
Even though this may not seem like a big activity to perform for our neighbors, this simple act of kindness and love to those who may otherwise have been forgotten was rewarding to all.
