Morgan And Red

Morgan works as an administrator at the Mansion Assisted Care Facility. Like many caregivers, she is also an animal lover. She goes home every day to have lunch with her Great Dane, a rescue she hates to live alone too long. She and Red are good friends, and Red now has a number of good friends at the Mansion.

I sometimes talk to the staff while he goes off and visits his friends and sits with them. I am moved by how much they love him and how much  he loves them. This is, I think, what Karen Thompson wished for him when she gave him to me, and i am happy to keep my promise to her and also to Red. I try very hard to give my dogs the lives they deserve.

This Christmas, it feels like the people in the Mansion have become part of my family, and I want to spent some of the weekend with them. Maria feels the same way. I think we are going there with Red Christmas morning, many of the residents will be out with their families, some have no families and it seems a good time to visit with them.

We can see a movie another day. Morgan and the other staffers have much love in their hearts, the world is lucky to have people like that in it. It gives us hope. As Connie said, there are good people out there.
