sometimes the phrase whats on my mind
baffles me as if I wrote some of the thing
on my mind it would be dull as dishwate r.lol
Just remembered a co worker named' Marcy
who was concerned about her husband
They were in their eighties and seemed to'
be very intelligent
But Dale. her husband came to the library
just as we were opening all upset. He had
driven to the supermarket but came out
he could not find his car. He wanted to know
if she had taken his car.
She was really shocked as he see med to have
changed but it was not long before he was'
diagnosed with Alzheimer disease, I felt so
sorry for them as their adult children were too
far away to help her.
She had to quit work to care for him and
i often wondered how they made out,When
I was retired I was told by all the staff we
will keep in touch
I never heard form any of them it was as'iof
now I was widowed they would have nothing to'do with
me as they all had families and I was a widow.
Such memories of fellow workers sad yet sweet
as I had worked there 23 years. I ask fellow mylotters
have you found that you no longer keep in touch with
your fellow single workers when they leave work?
Is it because t hey no longer have mates?

It is a really sad disease. I had kept in touch with some fellow workers.

@Hatley .....You could meet them some place. I guess some people don't like the atmosphere. Sad.

I think it's just as people leave a job, the old connections get less and less, not so much if they are married or single. Facebook helps with people stay more in touch

I keep in touch with two people that I worked with and they are friends for life, others not so much.
