The Elderly...
Me and a couple of my friends have been visiting the elderly eb dar el musineeen for the past week and it really hurts to see what we saw....
These people are people who don't have a family or do have a family but a family that doesn't care about them and had the heart to put them in an elderly home........
Today at the beginning of my visit i sat with a lady and we started to talk she asked if i had a phone and i know that i shouldn't give her a phone so i told her that i forgot it at home but i asked why she wanted it. She told me that she wants to call her sister to come pick her up........I was about to cry.... I was speechless.....I had no idea what to say..... I replied by telling her that i will make sure that the person responsilble for them in the elderly home will call her.....
It breaks my heart seeing people who have a family living in a place with no family around...
Do they really think thats the best solution?
There are many ways a person can help the elderly in their family and it shouldn't result to this.....
People send their parents, their uncles, their aunts or any person in their family to the elderly home because they aren't able to take care of them!!! THAT ISN'T TRUE!!!!!
On our first visit we spoke with the head of the elderly house and he told us that they have nurses that they will send to houses to help out with the elderly, but still the people with no heart will do everything in their effort to put an elder member in their family in a home and won't bother to visit them even once!!! they put them there and forget about them!!!!
Our parents, aunts, and uncles are the people who took care of us when we are young and we owe it to them that we take care of them....not just because they did the same for us but because we love them and shouldn't ever think of putting them in as house we are not in.....
When we sat with the elderly today and started to talk.........they were very shy but after about 10 minutes they started to talk to us and one of the women started to tell us poetry....
We could see their smiles and how happy they are that someone is here to visit them and actually sit down and talk to them for a while............
They are amazing and i will make sure that i visit them frequently because the happiness in their eyes when they have visitors really makes my day!

Not too many people do that. It’s sad what those heartless people have done to their families.
But what goes around comes around. Allah maa e6eg eb3asah. Time will show them. 7asbylah wne3ma elwakel.
Good on you, girl. Allah ewfgesh oo ekather men amthalesh.
It makes you feel so much more grateful for the little things in life. Everything else seems so small when compared to their situation.

wallah you brought tears to my eyes...! this subject always makes me sad... i wish there wasnt such thing as dar almasaneen, maybe that way no one will put thier elderlys away... they will be foreced to keep them at the house... mostly likely THIER house!!! some ppl can be so cruel!
Allah ye36eeech al3afaya for what you are doing... im sure they will never forget the visits and the talks you have with them... :)
take care......
