This too shall pass.

I know I spent a lot of time talking about my residents, but some of them are truly wonderful and interesting people.

yesterday, I was given the task of returning some papers a few college students wrote after interviewing some residents. I wanted to read them before I gave them back, buy I didn't get a chance to last night. So while I had some free time, I read through them and finally gave them back. I likes getting the chance to learn more about these people, since sometimes its a little awkward trying to talk to them.

I don't know if I've talked about this specific woman, but she is one if my favorite residents. She is so knowledgeable and loves to talk. She's open to a lot of new ideas and I absolutely love to talk with her. She actually had three papers written about her, all said about the same thing, and there was one quote they contained.

"This too shall pass."

I've heard that phrase before because my father says it a lot. Its a very relevant phrase, and can apply to both good situations and bad. "this is only temporary" is a very similar phrase with the same meaning.

when I gave her papers back to her, we stood and talked for a good 15 minutes, jumping subjects, but we both had a lot of valuable information to share. If I was able to, I would just come here to visit and talk with her! She quickly jumped on to my list of the most inspirational people in my life (who actually exist).

I wonder though, if why I am so fond if her is because she reminds me so much of my father. . .
