“Life is Nifty after Fifty”

“Life is Nifty after Fifty” – This tag line is one of many quirky quips Mr. M. loves to say. His jovial behavior makes his wife laugh to this day. After 48 years together, the M’s complement each other like yin and yang. They openly acknowledging their strengths and weaknesses, filling gaps so that they are better together. Their way of summarizing this partnership is for Ms. M to say to her husband in a wheelchair, “I’ll be your legs” and Mr. M replies to his wife with missing fingers, “I’ll be your hands.”

Their love has filled their house for over 20 years, and Westminster Home Connection has helped them stay in their beloved home by updating their bathroom floor, securely closing the entry to their crawl space, tightening railings, and replacing rotting siding. Ms. M. also does work around her home and community. In the Fall, she removes leaves from the neighborhood sidewalks. This beautifies their street and makes it safer for Mr. M. to navigate in his wheelchair.

The M’s were full of praise for the way Westminster Home Connection Staff arrived on time and cleaned up after themselves. They have referred others to our services and are so glad they can continue to live safely at home.
