When my children were younger, they had a wonderful recreation center to go to, for organized sports, or to just hang out.
Our city decided every recreation center should rotate its' employees, which meant the loss of a couple of great men at our recreation center who had been there for at least 10 years.
These men knew every child by name, and which child was trouble. They were our neighborhood connection. Their office belonged to the children and the children loved it, and them.
When we knew we were losing them, despite petitions, I knew it was the end of a season in life, and I felt alot of sadness.
We brought cakes and cards and took pictures. The rec center has never been the same.
I am thankful for these men who touched many lives, sad that they had to leave.
For all of you who show kindness and live a giving life, believe me, it is noticed.
