Good morning
Mr Wilson,
Sir -
Are you
ready
for
a
bright
sunny day?
Young man,
today
is the same
as
yesterday,
I can't
remember
a
bright sunny
day,
here
In this
rest home -
I get three
meals
a day,
a
game board
to
play -
my
medicine;
a nap
after lunch,
exercise,
and
maybe
someone
will wake
me
for supper.
That's
how my day's
are
spent -
You know
young
man,
as I recall.....
a man
wearing
a
white
uniform
said
to me,
"Don't worry
Mr Wilson,
family
will come
to
see you
once
a
week."
Well son,
ain't
nobody
came
except you,
and
I see
you
everyday.
Now,
tell me
again,
Are you
my
grandson-
"No
Mr Wilson
Sir -
I'm your
caretaker -
