I enjoy watching the British mystery programs that are telecast on our local public television station. One of these has been a series titled "Shetland". It centers around a police detective called Jimmy Perez. In one segment Perez & his team are investigating the death of a young man called Robbie. Robbie, they discover, worked at a nursing home. And, along the way, Perez visits the home to see what he can learn about the young man. During his conversation with the woman in charge, she mentions that Robbie would sit with the residents of the home, & talk with them while holding their hand. And the woman adds that she feels the worst part of growing old is that no one touches you.
