Hi @evernoticethat,
You are lucky to have spent time with her and I am sure you got her blessing.
Yes old people and especially lonely old people appreciate company so much! the more you stay with them the better. It is positive for both sides.. In general as time goes by, I more and more appreciate the time spent with people I love. Unfortunately I can't turn back time!
