“I projected directly onto my grandfather because I am very close to my grandparents. To see him working late at night at his age, I was marked. It is not audible, it is impossible to look at him, not to react and act. I had a heavy heart to see him “, confided Lise, between sadness and revolt.
Before launching the pot, Lise hesitated for a long time
Before launching the kitty to help Pierre, who continued to deliver despite the Covid period – when at 75, he was one of the most vulnerable people – Lise hesitated for a long time: “I was telling myself” but who I am ? “, and then I saw this baker in Besançon go on hunger strike to obtain papers for his apprentice”. It was the click.
From now on, the young woman is only waiting for one thing: for the septuagenarian to appear. She never takes her eyes off her phone, hoping for a call from this retired ex-nurse. “I would like to tell him that he is not alone,” she confides.
