115 ~ I Finally Quit

By Kay Heitsch

L's funeral was lovely. I wasn't too happy with the way her hair turned out. I should have fixed it the day of the funeral. Spending time in the morgue was interesting. One thing is for sure: it was cold in there. I believe that's one reason L's hair went flat.

I needed a break. I didn't think working for 6 years in a lock-in facility would have such an impact on me. A lot was going on at home with Bill changing jobs a few times, too. Aunt Carmeleta kept asking me if I thought I was okay. I thought I was better than I was.

But don't get me wrong. I still believe working at the memory care center was a part of God's plan for me. God's plans are not always a cake walk!

Brandon was almost finished with college, and with enough money saved, Bill said I could finally quit the company I worked for.

I visited the memory care center a few times, but I don't think most of the residents even remembered me. A couple did. My singing friend saw me and asked, "Are you the person I sing with?" This made my heart happy.

Life was about to undergo another significant change.
