That two if even that many actually read this? Makes no difference to me I guess, I'll have these thoughts whether or not someone is listening. Tomorrow is my last day at Marquis. I'm going to cry, I know it. I love the residents more than I love people I've known for 5x longer. You can't expect not to get attached though, I spend more time with those people than their own families do, more than I spend with my family. I'm there when they wake up and I'm there until well after they've gone to bed.
I will miss Gertrude and Bill the most. Today Bill was gave me a hug and then said "I've gotta get out of here open that door, get me cake." And I cried because it was funny and I'll miss it.
Bill's wife cried when I told her I was leaving. She said her and Bill would both miss me, because of how much of an effort I put into his well being and my sense of humor. I cried when she said that too.
I'm hoping these recent and somewhat sudden decisons I've been making lately are for the best and I hope it works out like I plan. I could be horribly wrong though... we all know that.
