Day care friends

Every day that 91-year-old Gene McGehee steps outside his house in Vidalia, La., he discovers a bunch of kids from the day care across the street, eager to include him in their fun. And because McGehee has severe dementia, every day brings a wonder of discovery. Steve Hartman reports on how youth brings sunlight to the elderly living in shadows.

“His brain is kind of sick but his heart always remembers us” ❤️

Beautiful! This is why I watch Sunday Morning: simple beauty and love in humanity.

[@leonardball5067]

This is such a beautiful thing. Americans can be amazing when we stick together.

The Heart always remembers. 🥰

My mom went through something similar with her dementia. They regress back to being children. Gene probably thinks he's one of the kids. Bless him. I know those kids make him happy.

That little dance he did is so unbelievably cute!

Refreshing to know there is still a lot of goodness

I've always said we should find a way to introduce the lonely and the homeless and see if they could help and comfort each other.

Young children & seniors are magical. What a gift the woman who runs the daycare has given those children & that beautiful soul who would otherwise just be existing. So many angels in one place 💕

[@judibarth7999]

God Bless those children and that teacher, at 75 years old this piece warms my heart! Thank you for sharing Sunday morning

[@larrynottingham2502]

Teaching children about growing old and the great love and great value they carry.

[@maggiehogland1891]

Anybody else is tears? Humanity Gifts from and for our elders and our children.

"Everyone Responds To Love.".. I cried

[@absatwell8163]

One of the saddest and sweetest things I’ve seen in a long time.

[@ThatLadyDray]

That's the power of love & kindness. His heart remembers even if the mind struggles.
