Wealth and Company

Mr R and Ms E stay together in one of the larger suites at the residence.  She cares for his needs as he struggles with age.  Having been a very prominent and now wealthy resident, but very down-to-earth, he demands, in a very subtle way, the respect he has earned.  He almost always uses taxi’s as he doesn’t like to book and sit with others in a vehicle, so most of the time I transport Ms E instead.

Ms E likes to ask me if I “still like my job?”, or “am I still going to be driving?”.  I am not entirely sure what her motive is for asking but I reply with “are you still going to use the van?” to which she catches on and snickers. 

Her trips are usually only if the weather is bad or Mr. R is not going anywhere.  They include Fred’s Hairstyling or the bank where she used to work as an administrator.

Wealth needs company and doesn’t always find happiness alone.  Mr R and Ms E went to Florida and only after two weeks returned as he had taken ill.  He remains ill to this day (three months later) at the time of this entry. 

In 2015 Mr R passed away, and Ms E moved to a condo.

[Once together, now apart.  Fortunately Ms E lives with her sister and enjoying a very happy independent life.  I have never seen a couple as unassuming as these two even though without question at a Class above the entire building. ]
