Here sits Bertha, the kind old lady in the nursing home. She has been fortunate to get a nice room with ample light and a pleasant view of the school below. But Bertha is one of those forgotten by her children and grandchildren. They mostly visit at Christmas, often scolding here. Everyday life has taken over for Bertha's family. The former schoolteacher lost her beloved husband 11 years ago. Since then, this room has been her home. Her family is terribly busy - school, work, and careers have stolen their time, they say. For Bertha, this place has become a waiting room for death. The indignity of Bertha's situation is total and deeply saddening. She is lonely, wishing she could see her family more. But the harsh reality is that she has been abandoned in her old age, left to pass her final days in solitude and neglect. This is an all-too-common tragedy in our fast-paced modern world, where family obligations are often overlooked in the pursuit of individual goals and priorities. One thing is good, she still has her memories intact.
