“Hi Aunt Angie. How ya doing today?”
“Did I tell you I have to move to a home? I can’t remember who I told.”
“Yes, you told me Aunt Ang. What do you think about it?”
“Well, I don’t like it, but what can I do? I’m 92 years old, healthy as an ox, but I’m so confused all the time. Are you coming over to play cards?”
“I am tomorrow when you get home from swimming. Is that still good?”
“Sure. Just call me before you leave to make sure I’m home.”
“Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow Aunt Angie. I love you.”
“Yeah. Good bye.”

“Hi Aunt Angie.”
“Who is this?”
“It’s Cathy, your niece. Josie’s daughter. You just called me.”
“Cathy Jones? Well how are you doing? Haven’t heard from you in a long time.”
“Aunt Ang, we spoke 15 minutes ago.”
“We did? I get so confused. Did I tell you I have to move to a home?”
“Yes, you told me.”
“Will you come visit me?”
“Of course I'll visit you Aunt Angie. I love you. I'll see you tomorrow. Is that still okay?”
“Yes. See you then. We’ll play cards—Kings in the Corner.”
“Okay. See you tomorrow.”

Opening the door, “Look who it is. Cathy Jones. How ya doing?”
“I’m doing well. How about you?”
“Let me turn the TV down. I can’t hear too well. These darn hearing aids.”
“Aunt Ang, are you wearing both of them?”
“No. I only wear one.”
“That’s not true. In the daytime, you wear two. At night, you sleep with one in. Where’s the other hearing aid?”
“Oh, I don’t know.”
“Here it is, right in the case.”
After putting in the second hearing aid, “Say something to me.”
“I love you.”
“I could hear that.”

“Knock, knock. Are you home Aunt Angie?”
“Oh, look who it is. It’s Cathy and Dave,” she turned toward Toni, another niece.
“How did moving day go? I like your cozy room.”
“I guess it went well. I walked in, and it was all ready for me.”
“How do you like it?”
“I don’t like it at all. But what am I gonna do? I get so confused, and can’t live by myself anymore. I didn’t realize how lonely I got after Frankie died six years ago.”
“I know Aunt Ang. It’s an adjustment. You’re here now. In no time, you’ll be making friends and running the place.”
“Well, that’s true. I have more sass than brains, and have never met a stranger.”

“Hi Aunt Angie. Calling to remind you I’m heading to New Orleans in the morning.”
“How long you gonna be gone?”
“Until Saturday.”
“Let me know when you get back. I told you I had to move to a home, right?”
“Yes, you told me. Dave and I came to visit you a few days ago when you moved in.”
“Hurry back so you can come visit me again, and play cards.”
“Okay. Are you making friends?”
“I do when we eat.”
“That’s good.”
“I told you I had to move to a home, right?”
“Yes, you told me. I’ll come visit when I get back home.”

“Is this Cathy Jones?” Angie shouts into the telephone.
“Yes, it is Aunt Angie. How’s your new home?”
“When are you coming over to visit me? ”
“Aunt Ang, we just got home from the airport, and I’m sick. I can’t visit because I’ll make you sick.”
“Oh, that’s okay.”
“When I feel healthy again, I’ll come over.”
“Okay.”

“Cathy, when are you coming over?”
“I wish I could Aunt Ang, but I have a nasty virus. I don’t want to make you sick.”
“Okay.”
“When I feel healthy again, I’ll come over.”
“Okay.”

“Cathy, when are you coming over?”
“I’m still sick Aunt Angie. I need to be healthy before I can come over.”
“Hurry up!”
“I’m trying my best. I love you.”
“Okay.”
