Where Did You Go?
Sometimes we suddenly realize that something is wrong. It may take a few days before one of us asks, “Has anyone seen so-and-so?” If there is a negative response, we are often dumbstruck. Why, you ask?
We are not just a part of your neighbourhood and life. You are, each and every one of our customers, a part of our lives. The wonder of each character, the beauty of a rare soul, the twinkle of an eye or the flourish of a quip—they are all important to our daily routines and pleasure. Names are exchanged, gezundheits are given, hugs are a rare delight , “closets” are opened. Mysteries unfold, knowledge is shared, crossword puzzles become joint efforts, politics and religion are discussed. Everyone wishes everyone well.
Valerie and Lauren – thankfully, it was Hallowe’en!
So, please, if you are unhappy with something we have done, let us not risk the special bonds we have built. Let us know so that we can address your concerns.
You see, when you “disappear”, we worry about what we may have done to lose you. Many times, the talk turns to even darker concerns like health issues, or family distress. We don’t know.
Going on a trip? Let us wish you bon voyage. Heading off to another city to a new job? We would love to offer our best of luck to you. We care about you, and we hope that you will care about us
