This almost eighty year old great-grandmother had her son concerned when he found she was missing from her nursing home. Upon arriving for his daily visit to Daleview House in Londonderry, United Kingdom, Tony Sellers noticed his mother Sadie’s room was empty.
After searching the garden, TV room and dining area for his mother, his suspicion increased, despite his efforts not to worry. In her year at the home, his mother had only left the building twice. Both times were with the man’s daughter, Samantha.
The attendants of the home confirmed that Samantha had in fact visited that day and that the two ladies had gone into town. Little did Tony Sellers know, his mother was out getting her first tattoo! The elder woman had seen her granddaughter’s ink and decided it was time for her to have some of her own.
Sadie chose a small outline of a heart to have drawn on her left upper arm by an artist at Tattoo Studio 76, and was thrilled with the result. When asked what her family would think of her rebellious adventure, the granny simply replied, “I don’t f***ing care.” She also explained that when you are her age, you start to see that it is important to live life to the fullest every day.
What an incredible story of open-mindedness and excitement for an elderly woman to venture out of the ordinary and do something unexpected. Samantha is a lucky girl to have a special bond with a granny like Sadie.
