Best friends share 171 years of awesomeness at Carson City care facility
While we all navigate through this challenging time, I'm happy to be reminded of what's important and learn from others.
I took my Mom, Christine Reed, recently to see her best friend, Lila Balardi, at the Cedar House care facility on Mountain Street in Carson City. Until recently they were neighbors as well. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility has a temporary "no visitor" rule in place.
These two rebels found a way around that.
The staff there know how long my mother and Lila have been friends and neighbors and how important it is for them to still be in touch with each other and so they helped me make it happen for them to be able to meet at the window and visit with each other.
Here they are giving each other goodbye "air smooches." Christine is 78. Lila just celebrated her 93rd birthday. Between the two they represent 171 years of awesomeness.
I just thought during this time it would be a great story to share, and the picture says so much. Something uplifting that we could all use in this time of daily sad news.
