Reality Does Not Betray

I've been trying to look at my residents in the nursing home with the promise the that, "reality has never betrayed me." Sometimes it is really hard to say that with my whole heart. Some of my residents are really lonely and life can see so pointless if it ends in the solitude they experience.

Today, Brenda and Marta (my sister-in-law and niece) came to visit at the nursing home. The reaction of my old people was beautiful. I really saw that it is true that reality doesn't betray. In their words, in the face of something so pure and beautiful as a baby, even the crankiest and lonely people became full of joy.

I don't know, I want to understand this more. But I am walking into work each day with the desire to be able to say one day truly, that reality really doesn't betray us.
The moment was hard to capture in a photo, but I hope this gives an idea.
