The heartbreaking reason why this 84-year-old man faked a headache

An Argentinian nurse shared a heartbreaking story of an elderly man named Oscar who came to her hospital.

In the post, Gisel Rach explained that Oscar came into the hospital complaining about a headache.

However, the nurses soon found out that Oscar wasn’t suffering from a headache at all, but it was his 84th birthday and he didn’t want to spend it alone.

Gisel wrote that Oscar has no children, his family members have passed away and his wife died four years ago.

Gisel and two other nurses decided to make Oscar’s day as special as they could, so they threw him a little party in the hospital.

The nurses blew up latex glove balloons, gave him a small cake and candle, for him to make a wish.

Their simple yet heartfelt gesture left the 84-year-old with a huge smile.

In Gisel’s post she wrote, “We value what we have and not what we lack, if you have someone waiting for you, someone who calls you, who cares for you, appreciates you and loves you, loves a lot and especially take because you are a millionaire and you are not aware.”
