One of the most precious gifts I’ve ever received

Disclaimer: My current day job is in the kitchen of a rest home. HIPPA laws (protecting a patient’s right to privacy) prevail there, so the residents described in this story have been fictionalized.

However, I really did make a couple of dolls for a beloved resident, and I’ve described my reaction to the experience as I felt it.
