IT’S OVER!

My friend died tonight about 8:15. I am sorry to say I wasn’t there. I was on my way. I had stopped to buy coffee and maybe some doughnuts. My friend’s daughters LOVED Tim Horton’s coffee. I wish I had gone earlier. I wasn’t thinking! One of his daughters told me that she had told my friend that I was coming to sing him some songs. I wish I had been there. Anyhow no turning back. I got a call while I was stopped at the mall that he had died. I decided to go to the hospital anyways because I was just a few blocks away. Many of the family were there.

I sat with them. I tried to help them cope. The two daughters were basket cases. Anyhow he was taken downstairs about ten. We cleaned up the room and finally left. My "job" is over! I will do my best to support my friend and keep in touch as much as I can. She does have a big family but there is nothing like friends. I think we became very close during the four months he was in the hospital. I will have to keep her in mind now that she is alone. One of her daughters were upset because she has no single friends. In our group it doesn’t matter. It’s just a matter of THINKING OF OTHERS!!!!!!! 

Tomorrow I start volunteering at the dermatologist’s office. I hope I can make a difference.

I realize that I enjoy/love helping others. Yesterday one of the women playing Canasta got super upset!!!!!! I wish I had gone over to the table and see what was happening. She was waiting for a lift home and getting angrier by the minute. When I finished playing I asked her where she lived. It turns out she lives in a senior home where I had to drop off some books. Well I told her I would take her home and kill two birds with one stone. She was so relieved and happy!!!!

The senior home was very nice – very expensive!!!!  I tried to calm her down as we drove. I got her to sing a song for me!!!!

The woman I dropped off the books for was very pleasant. She has had two heart attacks lately. I felt sad. She has no children and no husband. She is a friend of my friend who doesn’t go out. Maybe I’ll go back to visit again. She was friendly and happy to have someone to talk to.

So it’s 2:51. I’m going back to bed.
