Patricia was born in March of 1934 which is the same month and year as my father. We saw each other early this morning by happenstance at the Atwater market and then shared conversation over coffee. She is always a breath of fresh air.
A retired pediatrician who was also married to a physician, she is fascinated by everything with her mind sharp and inquisitive. We talk politics or anything else which comes to mind.
People like her draw me in, her expression a reflection of the goodness, humility and intelligence which lies underneath.
My retirement is made better by the interactions with the kind of human beings who validate our faith in the qualities we aspire to. We draw lessons from them and hopefully have our own positive impact on them.
