She walks with the carer. Always a smile on her face. Always a hello when people greet her. Her mouth smiles and her eyes frown. Each step slow. Lift the leg and place it on the floor. Then lift the other. When no one else is in the corridor she drops the smile. They walk to the end of the corridor and then turn. She looks up and sees the distance to her door. They have a short break and then start the walk back. The smile appears as a resident comes out of one a rooms. When they reach her room, the smile disappears. Her walk for the day is done. She closes her eyes and smiles.
