"Hello"

I just have to share about a resident who I love at work!

He is the sweetest thing.

His family is wonderful!

He propels himself throughout the facility in a wheelchair all day.

He drinks mocha at each meal.

He will always smile at you.

But he has short-term memory loss.

I probably say "Hello" to him 10 times a day.

I can talk by him, say "Hello", remember I forgot a pen in my office, turn around and say "Hello" again and he doesn't remember who I am.

Today, I was outside my office waiting for a bathroom key and here comes sweet, adorable, soft-spoken George. I say, "Hello, George." He smiles - continues to move in his wheelchair - and replies, "Hello there, Legs."

I chuckled and probably blushed. I suppose that aside from how white my legs are, they look okay in this dress...
