Did not expect this one.
When Grimm and I started volunteering at the Nursing Home. I fully expected that there would be times when I would walk into the home and be told that one of our regular friends was no longer with us. It's a fact. You work with older people, they will pass on.
However, I did not expect that the first person I was told to pass away was Mark. He was a Nurse on one of the units we visit every Wednesday.
He was 30.
I was told that he did not show up for work on Saturday. They called his sister, who works at the same Nursing Home. She called her folks who went over to his apartment and found him. He passed away sometime between Thursday night (his last shift) and Saturday. They said they think it was his heart.
I will be going to calling hours tomorrow night for him.
He was a good person, a kind individual and always had a smile and belly skritches for the Grimmy.
Rest well Mark. You are and will be missed.
