Who Is My Neighbor? | Sally Jo Gieser — Older Woman Who Is Happy

"I never know in any given day who I'm going to be and what I'm going to be able to do." Sally Jo Gieser has lived in the same house in Delmar, New York for nearly 15 years — close to church, close to the grocery store, close to doctors, and close enough to everything that she no longer needs to drive. She has Parkinson's, which means no two days look quite the same, but she has a good support group, a husband who makes her eggs, and the kind of adaptability that comes from moving to a new part of the country every couple of years for most of her adult life. She's the daughter of immigrants for whom voting was precious, and she has some thoughts about the current president that her own father would have expressed much more loudly. We'd love to read your answers to Sally Jo's final question in the comments!
