So Sad

All alone she sat each day, no one called Until a new neighbour moved in nearby. Old lady looked so sad, she was appalled Asked her to come and give coffee a try Across she came, confidence re-installed She has booked a holiday in July. Started to pack, was so happy she cried Next morning I was told that she had died. Penned 12/06/2017 True story I was the new neighbour.

Sorry for your loss, Seren. We had a courier die in my workplace a week ago Friday. We checked the bathroom/storage space. He was already gone. Just horrible.
