What Waiting Means to an Elderly

This is what waiting means to an elderly woman at Lualhati ng Maynila.

Lualhati is a gov’t funded home for the abandoned elderly. They house more than 300 individuals, most of them sick, some painfully lonely and all of them… waiting. Waiting for what could be an end to more days of waiting or just plainly, patiently waiting to be back home.
For now, all we can do is make them smile, in our littlest ways until the day we hear the news of them either sent back home with their family or dying… alone and waiting.
