This is a personal project about an elderly couple, Lester and Lily Hunt. After spending time with them I get a sense of love and understanding that has lasted more than half a century. They have six children, ten grandchildren, and four great grandchildren together.
Because of various ailments they no longer drive and rely on their children to help take care of them. Lily, 73, had two strokes a few years ago and takes over a dozen medicines for diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. She has a hard time getting around but is able to do small chores. Lester, 89, is in very good health but is suffering from what appears to be advanced stages of Alzheimer’s.
The farmer the Hunts once worked for rents a house to them. He worries about them living alone and feels they would be better off in a nursing home.
I think they are living one of the last chapters of their golden years and before long things might have to change.
