My friend, how do you wake up after that fall, have you hurt yourself?
We must pay attention to where we walk, we can't take anything for granted? The bumps of youth appear with age and we think they are ‘old people's aches and pains’. With age we lose certain skills, as you well know, and that forces us to be cautious.
Smallsteps' tenderness is not questionable, she will certainly do what she can do in any emergency, but it is good that you teach her to be prepared, how to call the emergency number, a friend or mum, the nearest neighbour?
A hug full of blessings.
In pain. However, it is hopefully not too bad and will heal.
She "knows" what she should do, but if push comes to shove, will she have the presence to do it? Hopefully!
