Last Wishes

The HSC's Vice President, Dick Miller, celebrated his ninety-fourth birthday a few months back. Last week Ahn emailed friends that visiting Dick in his assisted living facility she found him neglected, without the assistence he needed or that the Palms was getting paid to provide.
Another email announced that Dick had said that his last wish was to attend the Social one more time!

By golly, she arranged for the Palms to deliver Dick to the club house Wed, August 19 at 1 PM. She had us prepared to receive him warmly. Dick was wheeled in, wheeled to the dance floor. We formed a dancing circle around him.

Individuals, featuring Dick's known favorites, females, went up one at a time to greet him.

And so forth.

I presume that Dick has been found to be terminal by the medical professionals. It was said without joking that this was his "last" wish. Boy, did he get it.

Ahn, currently crippled herself with a badly contused ankle, wearing a cast, assigned crutches and/or a cane, abandoned her supports to dance with Dick's wheelchair!

I'm not always sure that Ahn shows the best sense – like putting her crutches aside – but boy, does she show love.
