Goodbye, My Friends


Every time I walk into the assisted living residence where I volunteer, I wonder who will still be there. 

And who won't.  

Today, I found out that two of my favorite residents passed last week: John and Martin. Both were so incredibly kind to me. Both enjoyed working out with me and the exercise leader, Jennifer.  

At lunch today, I sat at John's table. In John's seat. All of us at the table briefly discussed what a great guy he was. I never had a chance to sit with Martin during lunch because he always sat at a table for two and was joined by his caregiver.  

I'll miss 'em both.  

Because both were true gentlemen.  

I'll see ya when I see ya, my friends.
