A camera team showed how one 98-year-old really spends her time. The truth got people pretty choked up.
Endless solitude...
A lovely elderly woman called Mary Tony was living alone in a small house and — now 98 — just trying to pass the time. On a warm summer day, a pleasant breeze might be blowing and neighbors chatting on their porches, but she was stuck inside.

Every day a little bus stopped at her door and took her to the local senior center. There she was provided with several hours of cheerful activity and socializing, but today it's a little different: there's a camera crew
on site.
When they turn to Mary, she laughs shyly.

"I hope that if they go home and they don't come back the next day because they're no longer here, that their last day was fun," says an employee from the senior center.
When asked why she considers her job so important, she simply says: "Because they're still alive. They're no different than they were when they were younger."

The crew filming them catches the sadness in Mary's eyes and starts chatting with her. What's her life like? She lives all by herself?
"I don't mind. What am I going to do? Where could I go? I'm by myself. I can't see. I can't hear. I can't live with my nieces, they all have their own families," she says, resigned.
The senior center provides the light in her life: "I can't wait until morning comes, so I can go to it. I like it down there. You meet friends, you talk to them, you do something to pass your time! Otherwise, Saturday and Sunday, there's nobody here."
