Thank you for sharing this. It is so humbling to watch this and I am crying. I am grateful for all of my blessings and feel like a millionaire compared to her gratitude.
love, rachel

Actually, I am surprised at this situation as the Koreans I know in Australia are so respectful of the elderly whether in family or in aged care, etc.

Your story about the elderly in S. Korea was very humbling. That 82 year old lady is amazing! Such and indomitable spirit and a love of God. She puts Americans to shame with her optimism and work ethic. I’m amazed at her! Thank you for sharing her story.
