Patrick

Uncategorised 1 Minutes

I feel like I need to do this for my friend and colleague. A young man I work with has been in isolation for the last 10 weeks because he suffers from pretty bad asthma. He’s such a caring and vibrant young chap, brilliant at his job with the world at his feet.

We found out at work yesterday that his mum passed away at the tender age of 47.

He comes to me often for advice or just for someone to talk to. Not sure what to say to him or how we can help him when he eventually comes back to work.

We’re all thinking about him at work.

When he does come back we’ll do our best to take care of him and help him back into some form of normality.

So this is for Patrick, as he is prone to saying “Love ya man”.

      1. And trust me that’s worth more than anything. As the poem says ‘laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.’ Most people would avoid that John. ❤️
