Many of these elderly people haven't got it all together.
Many of them are at a point in life where they're not functioning near as well as they used to.
But they are still a blessing and a joy to be around.
One man in particular, Mendula, was a pastor in his heyday.
He speaks Spanish and Creole…and to our delight and surprise, sings and plays guitar.
I remember meeting him in '09 and having him play my Appa's (stepdad's) classical nylon string guitar from Costco -- which had only 5 strings…(my fault)
This year, i was able to bring, my friend, Anton's guitar..which is a step above Costco guitars :P
To see him play the guitar and enjoy it was a blissful moment for me and i could only imagine if Sandy was there (Sandy and i met him last year).
It was fun, just to see the people on my team walk by with lit up faces at the sight of this elderly man playing the guitar
