“I can never forget the experience I had in visiting a home
where they kept all these old parents of sons and daughters who had just put
them into an institution and forgotten them - maybe. I saw that in that home
these old people had everything - good food, comfortable place, television,
everything, but everyone was looking toward the door. And I did not see a
single one with a smile on the face. I turned to Sister and I asked: "Why
do these people who have every comfort here, why are they all looking toward
the door? Why are they not smiling?" I am so used to seeing the smiles on
our people, even the dying ones smile. And Sister said: "This is the way
it is nearly everyday. They are expecting, they are
hoping that a son or daughter will come to visit them. They are hurt because
they are forgotten." And see, this neglect to love brings spiritual
poverty. Maybe in our own family we have somebody who is feeling lonely, who is
feeling sick, who is feeling worried. Are we there? Are we willing to give until
it hurts in order to be with our families, or do we put our own interests first?” Mother Teresa
