Today I met Connell, 91, almost fully blind and partly deaf. But he still had his humour. While I was getting a pedicure (修脚) in a shop, Connell was 1 to the chair next to me. Being his first time here, he was 2a little embarrassed. Then we started chatting and he told me his stories as a truck driver.
Connell noticed I got a leg massage (推拿) and he 3 he wanted one too, so I helped him explain it to the waitress. Connell asked me what I 4 for a living. I told him I was an independent disability support person. Hearing this, he 5 said, "Hey, I'm disabled! I'm blind! " Then he laughed and I laughed too,6 him that he was 91 already and couldn't quite have it all.
When I was7, I paid for his treatment also, and tried to 8 before he noticed. But the waitress who 9 me ran over and told him. Tears in eyes, he tried reaching for his 10. He told me I couldn't possibly pay for him, to which my 11 was "Yes I can…Umm… I already have… " As I was 12 on my response, a woman who was watching the scene said it was really 13.
All I asked from Connell was a hug. In fact, it was just someone showing a gentleman a little 14, and his impact was15on me than I'm sure mine was on him.
