Melissa Payne Dropped By Extendicare In Lakefield To Play A Song On Her Fiddle For Her Nanny & The Long Term Care Heroes

Musician Melissa Payne dropped by Lakefield Extendicare on Wednesday (April 15th) after being inviting there to play as part of their community Honk For Our Heroes drive-by parade.

Playing there was extra-special for Melissa as her nanny resides there.

“Truth is I am guilty of not visiting as much as I say I will,” Melissa writes in a heartfelt Instagram post. “Nanny has had dementia for the past six years and the chances of her remembering this experience are very slim to none. But in this moment she was happy and excited and full of joy to see someone playing music for her. If there is one thing this pandemic has taught us it’s to cherish our moments. I know I’m not alone in saying I can’t wait to hug, hold and love a little harder my Nanny and all those I hold dear.”

“Thank you to all the long term care heroes who are working so hard to keep our loved ones safe,” adds Melissa in her social media post.
