I remember visiting a widow regularly and would paint her nails several times. It made her feel so special . The last time i visited her i noticed her slippers were dirty and very worn. I bought her a new pair that day and came back and put them on her feet . She passed away later that night. The staff told me she was wearing her new slippers 🥿 ☺️💕 Yes touch is so important and sends the message you are valued and important 🙏‼️

Excellent. Now that I am widowed, I realize how lacking I am in touch from others. Your article is so relevant and great!

Yes. So true. There r some who say they don't loke touch, maybe a medical reason, but i bet most of them really need a touch, alowly but surely to pull them up and out of depression or whatever. Good job of putting this all together
