A Love For The Ages - Part Fifteen

The Unthinkable Bill’s words were soft as he began to speak, but he mustered his strength, and it was easier to hear his story. “Melissa Dawn was born on March 7th, 1955, just fifteen months after William. We have called her ‘Missy’ almost since she was born. Billy had been a fussy baby, but Missy... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Fourteen

Two Days Later Without her knowledge, the midnight shift supervisor had switched Georgie’s following night shifts around.

A Love For The Ages - Part Thirteen

3:42 AM Georgie returned five minutes later with two Styrofoam cups of steaming coffee. She set one down in front of the old man and sat down with the other cup. Bill smiled when he saw the words ‘sweet & blonde’ on the lid. The girl had a sense of humor, and he liked that. He took the spoon that... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Twelve

The Long Talk Begins When Georgie returned, Bill was finishing changing his wife’s diaper. She told him it was her job to do that, but he stopped her. “To you, it’s a chore. To me, it’s an act of love. She would have done it for me.” The girl stood back for a moment and looked into the old man’s... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Eleven

A Quiet Night It took Georgie an hour to make her way to the end of the hall, where Bill and Gladys awaited her. A typical day shift would find her caring for ten patients, but tonight, her patient load was nineteen. Fewer aides working meant more patients for each aide. Most of her patients were...

A Love For The Ages - Part Ten

The First Night Shift Georgie had found it difficult to sleep during the day. She had never worked nights, and most of the afternoon, she was restless, tossing and turning. When her alarm went off at 9:15 that night, she thought that she might have set it wrong. A glance at the small wall clock over... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Nine

The Night Shift A day later, during the regular shift change meeting, Mrs. Decker, the nursing supervisor, walked in just as Mrs. Schmidt, the day supervisor, was recounting the events of the previous night shift.

A Love For The Ages - Part Eight

The Wedding And Beyond It was three days later before the old man and the young woman had time to talk again. Georgie had been assigned to work in a different wing of the facility, and things hadn’t gone well from the first few minutes of her shift. She had learned to do CPR in her CNA course on a...

A Love For The Ages - Part Seven

Before The Vows Georgie had the next day off, but she had come to the facility to retrieve something from her locker. She was almost back at the main exit when she heard a familiar scream. A glance at the clock at the nurse’s station told her she had nearly an hour before she had to be at the... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love For The Ages - Part Six

Back To Normal It was several days before Georgie could do anything beyond a smile, a quick bed bath, and a change of clothing. She would later tell Bill that two of the girls who were hired with her were let go, and a third girl found a better-paying job in the nearby hospital. With three CNAs... Sign in to see full entry.
