Retirement

Although I am no where near the time of retirement I have had the privilege of seeing those I love retire and thoroughly enjoy the benefits. A great friend and neighbor of mine retired last year. It was a bitter sweet occasion. She had fretted over being able to retire, leaving those she worked with, and if she really wanted to leave a job she loved. She knew she would miss her time at work with the co-workers she had gotten to know so well, however on the flip side she would now have that time to spend with her four children and grandchildren. When she finally made the decision to retire, we (her friends and family) knew it was an occasion to celebrate. We wanted to make sure her 30+ years of service didn’t go unnoticed and her future years of rest and relaxation weren’t overlooked. When her final day of work came we surprised her with goodies, events, and parties throughout the day (balloons included of course).
