A Story
All In a Day's Work
The small apartment at the seniors' residence was comfortable but it certainly wasn't his old home. Gerald, a recently bereaved widower, had suffered a stroke that left him needing extra care.
Melody, the nurse, made him feel welcome. He looked forward to her smiles and her gentle jokes. Slowly he began to realize that he was falling in love with her. Even though she was married, he fantasized that they were in a loving relationship.
He changed his will.
After Gerald died, Melody got a call from his lawyer. A big cheque was coming.
"Easy, peasy," she chuckled to herself.
A public garden with some nice bright summer flowers. Some colour to enliven a winter's day.
The view out the window. It's been a pretty snowy winter and we are expecting about a foot of snow tomorrow. Not that unusual but it does mean extra work to deal with it.
