I have a new client, I have been cleaning for him for a few weeks now. He is such a kind soul. He is sick and not doing well. His days are numbered and he is preparing for the end. He is one of the kindness people I have ever met.
I really didn't want to clean there today, I am exhausted and just didn't feel up to it. The second I walked in and he smiled that all changed. We were chatting about living here etc... He told me he moved away in the 60's and only came back about 20 years ago when his mom was sick and dying. He use to live in Vancouver and worked for London Records as a producer.
I could have sat there all day and listened to his stories. He told me of all the artist they signed, the parties, and events he attended. He told me about how Bryan Adams and his original band called daily trying to get a record deal. This man spoke with such passion. I told him how exciting I thought that was and how I have always had a passion for music. He turned on some old 60's and 70's music for me to listen to while I cleaned.
I arrived at his home today with a bad attitude and a frown, and I left there smiling feeling good about life. It amazes me how people have such a great effect on other people. Everyone has a story. Everyone comes into your life for a purpose.

Great story. :-)
LEIGH, What a great day for him too. How nice he got to tell someone about the life he has lived. And you gave him a gift. You let him feel his life mattered. I would like at the end of my life to know it mattered and someone cared about it.
Hugs Leigh.
WOW I hope you are able to spend time with this client before he passes. Sounds like he has a lot of things to say.
and I am glad you came into my life.
Indeed they do great post
I absolutely 100% agree. There have even been people in the blogging world, who I will probably never meet, who have made my day different.
Good post.
Honey, I am worried about you. If you need to talk to someone....
Please, ask for help if you need it. Sending you hugs.
