I was blessed to be Mr. Robert's caregiver, alongside Mrs. Carolyn.
I am so thankful that I was able to get to know Mr. Robert, a quiet gentleman who I learned a lot from, especially about birds. He was a wonderful man, that always cared enough to ask if I had a good weekend, no matter what.
I'll always remember his kindness and gentle spirit.
