Valentines’s Day In Nursing Homes

The nice thing about having Time and stability and perseverance be your love language is that it just gets better every year. If I expected gifts on Valentine’s day, thee would come a day when the big gift would be prescription medicine. There’s an 80% chance Touch will fail you if that means sex. Can’t Talk that well if your hearing goes. Can’t do Acts of service if you can’t take care of yourself.

But if all you need to feel loved is to have that person in a 20 foot radius then you’re good.

It does make me wonder about nursing homes, though. Do spouses share a room in a home?

I’ve only known about one couple and they absolutely did not.

  1. Husband’s grandparents shared a room on the less-care floor, until Grandpa had to be moved to more-care floor. I’ve heard nursing homes are hotbeds of STDs, so some kind of valentines are probably being exchanged.

  2. Allison – That’s good to know. I’ve heard about nursing homes sex too! Seems like it’s a need that requires satisfaction. My step-grandmother had a “boyfriend” and good for her.
