I worked at a nursing home for 3 yrs. I got to love many of the residents. One in particular was there the last year I was there. We were very fond of each other and she shared her life with me of what she went thru in her early days etc. This lady was 90. Very sharp in her mind but her heart was bad. She even had her own computer in her room!! Almost unheard of for a nursing home resident.

To make a long story short, I got offered another job at a totally different place and I took the job. For the next 7 months I went back and visited with my favorite lady. Before I left the nursing home job tho, I had lost 30 lbs. on a low carb diet. I was still well over 225 lbs. But after I left that job I started to gain the weight back....because I got into eating carbs again. Because I gained weight I felt ashamed and did not want to go back to the nursing home and let them see me getting bigger. I sent cards now and then and NEVER forgot my favorite lady..I just found out that she died in her sleep two days ago. I was told by one of the workers there on the day she died she asked for me and said I "never came back"....that made me feel so bad.

God is the only other one that knows the true reason of why I did not go back to visit. I had to tell someone. Thanks
