A Wheel Chair is not a Reason!
I was sketching again the other day, Sunday, on the way back from the indoor pool where I swam my daily 1000 meters to keep brain and body fit, and to sharpen my eyes and my fingers! Yes, after the sport, especially after swimming, my artistic awareness is at its maximum. One might not always see it in the result though…
And well, that Sunday, like many other Sundays, many families were out and sat around at the cafes by the sea, having lunch or simply a drink. I was especially touched by this trio and was first happy for the old lady to be taken out, although, to be fair, she really seemed bored to death! I wondered what was going on in her head, observed her for a long time from behind my sunglasses, but she sat in that position all the time, the chin in the hand, and looking away from her family, to a distant point which certainly only existed in her fantasy.. or perhaps did not even exist there anymore?
She didn’t even touch the big glass of orange juice they ordered for her,… I mean, really, she might have had all reasons not to enjoy life anymore, but I find that she should be a little more thankful to have a family who kindly cares for her…

Hmmm. There’s certainly more to this story than we can guess. I think if you see her again you should go up to her and talk to her. Maybe make her smile. Maybe get Kev to sing her a song!
