We all get old and die eventually.
I’m not especially scared of dying, I think it’s something beautiful and natural.
On the other hand, I’m terrified of getting old and not being able to look after myself.
To be completely dependent on someone else, not be able to go to the bathroom on your own or remember your childrens’ names. That’s no kind of life.
Maria was living out her final days in a care facility. And she knew that she didn’t have long left to live.
Maria had been a singing and piano teacher her whole life and missed being surrounded by music.
But she was in luck, because one of her old students worked at her care home in Austinburg, Texas.
A man named James Redmond wrote: "This lady is my sister-in-law, Mary Redmond.”
"Her former voice student and attending Hospice worker,Josh, sings to her as a gesture of good will and tender caring for his patient and former teacher."
Joshua had been taught by her from when he was 9 years old, so they knew each other well.
Maria’s greatest wish was to hear the song ”How great thou art” before she died.
Of course, Joshua was eager to fulfill Maria’s final wish.
With the song lyrics on his phone, he sang a heartfelt rendition of Maria’s favorite song.
Maria’s sister-in-law managed to capture the emotional moment on film and showed it to the world.
The clip became viral instantly! How could it not? This is one of those selfless acts that need to be seen and admired by the whole world!
Sadly Maria is no longer with us, which makes this whole clip even more moving.
Make sure you share this beautiful clip with all your friends on Facebook to honour all the staff working tirelessly to take care of our elderly loved ones.
