My heart is so sad. I had looked so forward to your return. It was such a pleasure to share each day with you Mr. A. I will miss our little funnies and your kind way of teaching me things. I will try my best to give Patti a sweet treat every single day (remembering how you would always ask if she wanted some of your food)! Gone but never forgotten, Axel (your name for me).
