They had their photo taken with their five children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pair has been living at one of the Noah residences in Woodstock since November last year. To them, capturing a moment with all their kids present was a \u201cheartwarming\u201d experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dorothy said: \u201cIt means a lot. My daughter always said we never had a family portrait. This is like a family ID photo; we can keep it forever. We are so happy and grateful to Bonny (Bonny Diener, Noah Woodstock Centre Manager: Happiness programme) and the photographer for organising this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_b866a12c\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/11520\/ccfe048d3a7242a4b5c676b97c3e2683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/45b001dcb2734b75bcbb502e07b7ca35.jpg\" title=\"Michelle Ho Chong with her parents Phillip and Veronica Agulhas.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Michelle Ho Chong with her parents Phillip and Veronica Agulhas.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Wulfen said the aim was to offer the seniors a lasting memory. \u201cI think every family should have a printed photo of themselves because it\u2019s important to preserve memories and keep them alive for those who are not here anymore. It is important to be reminded of your identity and the community you are a part of.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said seeing their facial expressions was exciting. \u201cI think seeing your own family in print adds a special layer. They are beautiful and special, and I hope their portraits will help them keep the memories alive.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the occasion, Diener said: \u201cSenior people in Old Age homes never have this kind of bond with their families. It is a heartwarming opportunity for our residents, and it has never happened here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is a lovely opportunity, and I told our residents this is a beautiful legacy they can leave behind because their families will cherish it when they are no longer there. This is all thanks to Noortje,\u201d she concludes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quote by Katie Thurmea reads: \u201cWe take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise
