Lesha and I worked at Tawas Village, years back. She started out in the housekeeping department, then progressed to the position as the office receptionist. She was an excellent employee!
I was always working in the Nursing Department as an Aide, all the years I put in there. Yes, I did a lot of cleaning up, five days a week.
Lesha and I communicated with each other, quite often. The work environment was quite abusive, yet we just continued to do the best job possible, for the amazing residents who lived there. They became like family members:)
Did we become best of friends? No, we didn't become close because we were on different schedules most days. Lesha worked the 9-5 shift, while I worked the second shift, for two years.
When I spotted Lesha working as a checker at a grocery store, her face lit up like a candle! We hugged and reminisced for a few minutes. It was good to see Lesha again, after all these years

When I first met Lesha, I knew that she was different from many others. She cares about people, in general.

Lesha was a very pleasant lady to work around. She never caused problems and she was kind to the residents.

Now that she's working in the grocery store, I'll definitely see her more often.

Despite the challenges of the work environment, your dedication to the residents shines through. Running into Lesha after all those years must have been a nostalgic and joyful moment. It's always nice to reconnect with old colleagues and reminisce about the past.
