Elsie Parminter loved the Fairmont Retirement Village.
It was a green oasis, nestled into the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, with a mixture of independent and assisted-living units and its own hospice on the grounds.
At first Elsie had been reluctant to move after her beloved Frank had died. After all, they’d shared the same house for nearly fifty years. And Fairmont was further away from her two daughters.
But Brenda and Theresa had been so enthusiastic about the place that she’d finally relented.
‘See, Mum?’ Theresa had said, smiling. ‘There’s medical staff right there – we won’t have to worry if you fall, or get sick.’
‘And look at all the activities,’ added Brenda, running her finger down the list on the page. The opposite page was chock full of pictures of over-60s playing golf, laughing as they sat around a table playing chess, and waltzing around a dark wooden dance floor surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. ‘A pool, walks, tennis, even craft evenings – lots of stuff to do. You’ll make new friends in no time, Mum.’
‘And we’ll visit as often as we can,’ they both promised.
And they had… for the first few months. Until their lives suddenly became busy and their time limited.
But by then Elsie didn’t mind so much.
She had so many new people to talk to, so many new stories to learn.
Not that she was a gossip, mind you, definitely not. It was just… sometimes folks had such interesting things
