Tara Wood was planning to celebrate her daughter’s fourth birthday when Norah, her little girl, saw an old man on the opposite side of the road and said to her mother, “I love old people, because they walk slowly and I walk slowly. They have soft skin and I have soft skin. They will die soon, and I will love them all until this happens. ”Tara was amazed by these words.
