Imagine an 84 - year - old dementia patient (I call her Barbara), and her daughter decided to move her to a nursing home two years ago. When Barbara first entered the nursing home, she paid $ 80,000 per year using her savings. Since her savings were exhausted three months ago, Medicaid takes care of her - just like more than 60% of nursing home tenants.

The first thing I thought when Barbara received this award was to pick up the phone and call Alison. But Barbara hesitated. She painted Alison and Zach at home and enjoyed some romantic dinners.

She has two dogs at home. Her favorite thing is to go home from work, take a bottle of wine, eat some Chinese takeout, check Alison's face. The last one is almost a hobby. Her favorite is to see pictures. Obviously, those who do not have Zack. A person wearing black silk clothes saw Alison. God, she looks so incredibly sexy in this dress. Barbara's biggest dream is to see Alison wearing a dress in front of her without Zach's intervention.
