When I was a activities aide in a nursing home I had this couple who I loved , the husband was a huge smart ass and I always did the wife ' s nails . He was only there for her , he was fine on his own and didnt need to live in a facility but if his wife was he was . Well it was near her birthday and it was going to be her last , she wasn ' t doing well at all . I want to say she made it a day or few after her birthday Well I popped in to deliver their dinner and he joked What no steak ! It ' s her birthday , I know she can ' t eat it but that ' s what I ' m here for ! I laid down the tray of crap food they always have and thought about it . So before I left I called a steakhouse close by and ordered a steak dinner for him . Left work picked it up and took it to him and told him there was his steak dinner he asked for . He was very surprised and wasnt expecting that at all .
