Our hearts are touched when we see elderly individuals who should be enjoying their retirement still working to make ends meet.
Such is the reality of life, where some have to continue working at an advanced age just to support themselves. A woman shared a video on TikTok capturing an elderly man diligently mowing the lawn in heavy rain.

In the video, the woman urges the man to stop and resume his work the next day, but he declines, explaining that he has other job commitments for the day. "I can't stop, I have other work tomorrow. Just a little bit more," the man says.
However, as lightning and thunder start to rumble, the man is forced to take shelter. The woman offers him a plate of fried rice and a cup of hot coffee to enjoy while waiting for the rain to subside.
It is heartwarming to see the man eagerly tucking into the food and expressing his gratitude to the woman for sharing her blessings. In the video's caption, the woman reveals that the man had actually come the previous day but had to stop halfway due to a sudden machine breakdown.
She explains that the previous worker was a young person, but there were no vacancies that day, so the elderly man willingly took up the job of mowing the lawn. The woman ends her caption by praying for the man's well-being and for his work to be facilitated.
The video has garnered significant attention, with many touched by the elderly man's dedication to his work despite challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination displayed by individuals like him, who continue to fulfil their responsibilities diligently.
