🚨WOW!!!
Firefighters and college football players showed up to a Tennessee senior home...to pull grandmas and grandpas down a MASSIVE slip 'n slide!!!
Seniors with dementia and Parkinson's laughed like little kids again.
This is the annual "Ride 'n Slide" at Adams Place in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where a giant tarp is stretched across the lawn and the Murfreesboro Fire Department keeps it soaked and lifts residents safely on and off.
The Middle Tennessee State football team spent their day pulling grandmas across the water on inner tubes and cheering them on every single ride.
One resident, Mike Mitchell, an Army veteran and a retired minister who preached for SIXTY YEARS, talked himself into it right there on the lawn.
One grandma went down FOUR times and came up smiling saying, "Well that was fast!"
Organizers say the residents with dementia and Parkinson's light up brightest of all.
For one afternoon, no diagnoses, no age, just water, laughter, and people cheering your name.
That's so amazing...
GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!! 🇺🇸
@gomariners94@KING5Seattle I've had flu (stomach & respiratory) and NoroVirus at separate time. I'd rather have the flu. NoroVirus is much more intense, both upper and lower GI simultaneously, and is, honestly, God Awful.
@SoveyX As someone with conservative beliefs I want to apologize for those others. I am sorry they are so rude and callous. From us right wingers who AREN'T total jerks: You belong here. You are valuable. Your perspective makes all of us richer.
@glenn_tunes I'm here to apologize for all the disrespectful, uncouth individuals who seem to think they are allowed to attack you for your opinion. I may not agree with you, but I know how to disagree respectfully.
@PNWConservative It is as if everyone voicing opinions against ICE, tight borders, etc has forgotten the difference between "legal immigrant" and "illegal alien". HUGE difference.
@LeslieM0tta@LeadingReport When someone has no treatment options, they are left with only two choices: slow death or quick death. Both have their advantages. It gives the patient one last opportunity to express their beliefs, wishes, etc.
@LeslieM0tta@LeadingReport As someone who has done copious amounts of research into this type of program in Europe, Canada, and the U.S., and experienced it first hand both personally and professionally I confidently believe it is a good option to have.
@ScottPresler Yet again, offering up Washington State. The leadership is absolutely married to overspending on programs the government has no business meddling in, while raising taxes higher and higher on workers and then still complaining about budget deficits.
@pnwconservative Last night's event was such an educational experience for my children. We were heckled by protesters on our way in and welcomed upon entry. Such insight into the two sides of Washington State. We are no longer the silent majority.
