today marks my 5 year anniversary at my job.
5 years. time flies when you are having fun.
worked today ... at 10 minutes to closing Levitra online no prescription, a sweet older lady came up to the young adult area and asked me for the NYU continuing education catalogue ... which we don't have ... so i went levitra online prescription the internet to see if the information she wanted was online. meanwhile she's chatting away to me about how she went to school back in the 30's and how she was a teacher, and how she loves to take levitra online prescription to keep herself busy and how she's taken classes at baruch, hunter and Levitra online no prescription, now NYU ...
so i found her some information on buy levitra line philosophy classes she was interested in ... she wants to Levitra online no prescription, start a degree in philosophy. she also told me about how she was a math major when she went to school, and levitra online prescription were required to take courses in which they did not receive credits for ... such as logic, and how to use those-pieces-of-equipment-that-surveyors-use-to-take-measurements-through-the-concept-of-triangulation ... and how if you had the grades, you didn't have to pay for school ...
we continued chatting and Levitra online prescription, she told me that she is 85 years old, and that she's outlived all of her good friends. i nodded as she spoke, as Levitra online no prescription, if in understanding, when truth be told there is no understanding until you're knee deep in the situation. she told me about how it's easy to make acquaintances, people you have lunch with, but not true to the heart, deep actual friends. you can't make lifelong friends when you're 85 ... there won't be anyone who knew you when, or who you can reminisce with about one event or another. at this point of the conversation her eyes began to well with tears and i almost started crying, too.
somehow i shifted levitra online prescription conversation ... i think i told her that i admired her for taking classes ... and we got over the teary eyed moment. she asked me where i went to school ... i told her the buy levitra line of western ontario. she told me that her only intimacy with canada was a 2 week trip she had once taken every year for about 6 or 7 years to the stratford festival to enjoy the shakespearean theatre there. well, it is a small buy levitra line because my hometown is only about 1 hour from there, and i have family there as well. she described the bed and breakfast she would stay at year after year that was run by Levitra online no prescription, an english teacher ... who had summers off to run the inn ... and how his garden was full of the flowers from the shakespeare plays ... i could almost smell them by her description.
i looked at her, and thought of levitra online prescription own grandmother ... just as delightful a woman as this one, but totally different. levitra online prescription and i marvelled at how at first i had been mildly annoyed to have to Levitra online prescription - try to find something that i was pretty sure we didn't have and how now i was sort of wishing it wasn't closing time. i'm sure that she was delighted at the conversation ... many older patrons really do look forward to the opportunity the library affords for socialization and conversation. but i wonder if she knew what she brought to me with her conversation? i was inspired, entertained, i buy levitra line and chuckled, and she also gave me a moment to re-embrace my now passed grandmother ... a woman who also had delightful buy levitra line to tell and smiles to bring to my face ... and perhaps i didn't take it all in at the time from her... but who does know what they have until it's lost? very Levitra online prescription - few have the insight ...
5 years. time flies. buy levitra line i know it, i'll be 85 too. and i can only hope Levitra online prescription : that i will be as healthy, levitra online prescription and alert as Dorothy was today. she told me her name. she loved hearing mine and enjoyed it's levitra online prescription (she told me that, too) ... and i hope i have her hunger levitra online prescription knowledge and desire for information as well.
hmm ... come to think of it, levitra online prescription grandmother's middle name Levitra online no prescription : was dorothy. maybe my grandmother sent her to me on this day to remind me that she's watching me and my accomplishments, and that perhaps she's as proud of me as i was of Dorothy.
just maybe.
