Visitng the Nursing Home

Today was the day that I had been waiting on for what has seemed like the whole year and it was truly worth the wait. The day that we would finally be able to meet the person that we would be doing an oral history project on for one of my college classes. We all entered with the same nerve racking feeling, all hoping that we were going to get someone we could relate to but at the same would get the same feeling about us being there. As fellow students were placed with someone as in only one person I was the last to be brought to the room where I would meet the person I would be learning about. As I knocked on the door I was expecting to only be seeing one person but as lucky as I am I would get one of the only couples living at the home which almost made me even more excited. It wasn't the fact that I got two people instead of one but the fact that I would get to here two sides of the story instead of just the husbands I would here her side to. Whenever I sat down with all my questions it was suppose to go the way I thought it would but would quickly change to the much better way of just getting to know Glenn and Ruth. Glenn is a very honest man who is not afraid to tell you what he thinks even if the cleaning girl with bad English that he makes fun of can hear every word he says. But, before you get mad you have to understand he just thinks he shouldn't have to press to 2 for English which is quite understandable. As for his better half Ruth she is a sweet lady that doesn't get much word in with Glenn but is kinda letting Glenn do more of the project then herself. The time we had together today went so quickly but they were all ready looking forward to me coming again and it made my day. You will have to stay tuned for more of the story's that will be told about the two them through me and hopefully learn more about me on the way. Thanks for reading!
