Dear Martha, I would like to thank you for this
most wonderful Center for Living,I had a best experience there ever in any doctor`s office.
I met this young woman doctor Dr. Ruth Spinner
she treated me so carefully and patiently with sympathy and understandingand knowledge.
I had a better experience in this doctor`s office as if I had been in a luxurious spa.
She called me at home even a few days later
telling me that I needed Vitamin D, gave me good advise about many different things, but
not forcing things on me to do or to take,
like they would do in other places.
I feel like that I have someone who cares about me now, looking after me so well, I am most grateful to her and mostly to you Martha.

I am sure that the Lord will bless you for your
contribution for taking care of the elderly in such wonderful way.
Thank you again
with appreciation and with love Judy Pappas

I love your blog in general and have bought various products of yours since day one. I just used two of your bathsheets i bought last year for the first time. Always loved your sheets , but these towels shed like crazy and too late to return or exchange. Any ideas?

Dear Martha,

Yesterday I was hitting some serves (playing tennis by myself) in a public park and saw a young man having lunch with an older gentleman on a picnic table under a tree. It made me think about how much quality time I don't spend with my grandparents since they live so far away.

Aside from the neglect they must feel, I would argue that we as a generation stand to lose something. We lose a sense of continuity with the past, appreciation for the present, and perspective on the future. This perspective is critical in our current economic situation.

In these difficult times, there is so much to learn from our grandparents. In your speech you talk about the need for the elderly to stay engaged, but young people likewise should engage with the elderly. We have so much to share with eachother not just in terms of care but also in terms of mutual curiosity.

I was thinking you should run a social networking site to connect young professionals to people in assisted living via a local exchange. Then I thought, technology isn't the barrier. It's a sense of commitment. Just like the two people having lunch together all it takes is a little coordination.

Thanks for all you do, I have watched your show since I was 9 years old and support all your causes, brands, and best practices.

Best,

Pauline

...gee whiz, where do I begin?...I could go on-n-on on this day's blog! (I'm a day late but had to return to it today as I didn't get a chance to post yesterday).

This blog is so inspiring, Martha! My heart is palpitating with excitement, seeing this event as if I were there in person. It is wonderful - absolutely wonderful - to see your vast support system there with you, "cheering you on", so to speak... Your mother would be proud! It is no secret that we loved her! She became part of our hearts as you graciously shared her with us, and we got to know her. (And) you know what?!...I see her in you, sometimes...she did have the ability to laugh (and sometimes at herself), and when you laugh on your show, I hear her voice in yours sometimes.

The estimated value of your mother's legacy? (YOU!) - PRICELESS indeed!

My heart is full!

Martha...a beautiful speech! I am a 60-something who is inspired by you to age healthfully and graciously; this is the time to do just that! Lovely that you are a great spokeswoman for the elderly and i am sure the Centre is a great source of pride for you. It's wonderful to see so many caring people come together to help in fundraising for a most worthwhile endeavour.

I always enjoyed watching your Mom's appearances on your TV shows: she reminded me very much of my own Mother and Grandmothers. I can't think of a more meaningful tribute to her. Thank you for continuing to teach and inspire us in new ways!
