HELLO AGAIN......AFTER ALL THESE YEARS


Call an Elderly friend today
As most of you know I work with the elderly.Almost 30 years now.Yesterday I was at work and I was reading the in house newsletter
"Chatter Box" and I came across a name I regonized, Littlejohn.The lady I worked for was florence and her husband was Lawerence,this was back in 1995.Curiosity got the best of me so I went down the hall and knocked on her door,"Who is it?"a woman asked(not opening the door)"Hi Im John,By chance do you know Lawernce Florence Littlejohn?
Her voice was a little weak"Im Florence!!!"
"Florence its me John,I took care of your husband years ago" I heard the door and  unlock and there stood Florence Littlejohn,She looked the same,just a little older she stood 4 feet tall,"Oh my my come in,I remember you,Your the only one my Lawerence liked and didnt fire,You stayed three days so I could attend my neices wedding and that was back in 1995"Wow, her memory of me was sharp,It made me deel good about myself.We talked awhile catching.up kn life.Lawerence passed away in 1996 Florence decided to sell her Mobile and move here to "The Estates.I got up to leave she smiled at me and said"Honey come visit me anytime,It was so nice to see You again Shawn"I smiled and said "Its John"She said "The lawn,yes its beautiful this time of the year" 
"Yes it is" and I closed the door behind me

    Oh that was cute. I'm sure she remembered you but just not the name. I'm sure it is special to be able to help the elderly. I always think of my grandparents and how special they were. And now I'm heading that direction. I'm wondering at what age does one cycle over to "elderly" status? lol Take care!

TAKING MY HOUSE FROM ME

Well I got the news today, After 13 months of paper work in and grieving the loss of my Dad. The papers came yesterday and the calls today. You have 60 days to be out, you are an unlawful detainer.The house your living in sold Oct 20th,I had gotten the loan. I got the attorney Mayhem Ford, I filed and faxed.  did everything I needed to do. And now they tell me under FHA policy I have to move 30 years of my parents stuff and empty out the house.So they can take a picture of the house empty. They tell me with such compassion. I almost believe them.Someone's been lying to me. I am going to court Feb 19th and present my case. I've been so sick with ulcers and H pylori This is the home that my Dad and Mom built with their bare hands, My Dad lived in less then two years. He was building it while battling lung cancer, None of us knew he was sick.( Not even Mom). This is the house where every holiday was spent. Many Christmas's and Thanksgiving dinners with Friends and Family....
