My Friend
We sure missed you yesterday the nurse & the aid said as I walked into the nursing home to start my shift. I asked why and they proceeded to relay the happenings with one of my favorites residents at the home. They told me how my sweet friend was all excited, that she got all dressed up and was looking forward to going out to dinner with her son. He did not show up they said. Yeah they said she waited all day and finally called him at 6:00 to ask when he was coming to take her out of the home for a bit. He said he was busy. My co-workers were still fit to be tied when telling this to me.

Hard Day on Hall 300
My office is a hub of love and loneliness. I sit smack dab in the middle of the building. If I turn my chair around in a circle, I can see Hall 100, Hall 200, Hall 300 and Hall 400. Each hall has its own heartbeat and rhythm. Each hall is full of people who have loneliness, longing, pain, fear, laughter, hope, and love.
