They are all elderly people sent to retirement homes. Among them, on the far left, is Bernard. Today is his 89th birthday. The little cake in front of him, he does not know who has prepared it, nor if someone will wish him a happy birthday. 🎂
Bernard has three children, but he hasn’t seen them in a long time. They brought him here saying it was for his own good. But time passed, and the phone never rang again… Bernard says: I’m not angry, but I’m sad.
What hurts me is not their absence, but the fact that, despite their departure, I continue to love them in the depths of my heart. 💔 I do not ask for much, just a simple attention: a word, an embrace, a simple “Papa, happy birthday”.
Today, I would like someone to think of me. Not because you know me, but because sometimes even a stranger can bring some warmth into the silence.
At my age, we live on memories and hope. Today, I hope that this message will touch the hearts of those who forget to cherish love before it is too late.
To all parents, I send my tender thoughts. You are loved, even if no one tells you.❤️
