So I just reached my 3 year mark working at North Eastern Services. Basically I help handicapped adults work, to be independent and earn money. They can be a huge handful most of the time! Especially when having bad days...which are pretty much EVERY Monday and Friday...ya Friday...by then its definately time for the weekend to start. Since I've worked there for 3 years now I have gotten to know all of my clients (about 40ish) very well. And yes of course I have my favorites (which are basically the ones who just love love love everyone and they are so stinken cute even when they are mad). So this guy up there... is Floyd aka Floydy bum, floydy cakes, babes...ya know... He is my ultimate favorite!! I've known him ever since I started working. He sort of reminds me of Dopey from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He doesn't talk at all but most always has this cute huge smile on his face. Sometimes he is a goof ball and walks very slowly and monster like into a room with his hands up in the air, saying oooooo bubba!! in this really low but cute voice. Since he is 61 now and being a mongaloid or down sindome (same thing) he is pretty old. He is definately a ladies man and LOVES to milk TINY things such as walking...he will try to get away with having one girl on each arm helping him walk. Really he can do it on his own it just takes him a while. My first st. Patricks day working at NES we all made cute leprachan hats. He wore his all day and really looked like a leprachan. I took a picture of him and now my mom has it in her kitchen. He is the sweetest man I work with! I wish everyone coule have the heart of gold that he has. When he sees me he always goes oooooo!!!! With a huge smile and his arms out to give me a hug. When I look at him I see Heavenly Father's countanance so happy and whilling to love everyone. I see Floyd and he is such a great example of how I want to be.
