The old boy in our local Dry Cleaners/Clothes fixers - who's sat in the window mending clothes for as long as we've lived there, and likely a few decades more - is in intensive care with Covid.
I'm assuming, given his age, his prognosis isn't wonderful - and if so, will be the first person I sorta know to succumb to it.
I was deeply saddened when my partner told me about this earlier. I had a backlog of stuff to to take to him. This sounds selfish, like it's all about my broken clothes, but it's more that I really like this guy's existence, seeing him contentedly working away there each day. I'm sad he won't be a small but appreciated part of my life and I'm sad that I wasn't able to express that to him.
I hope he pulls through. I'm not optimistic.

- Give him work. Work gives purpose. If he feels needed he will feel stronger. And kind words and a love letter would be nice.AQUTE
