Laurie

I just lost a job I loved in Cambridge MA. Moving meant downsizing - a lot. Dawn was an assistant manager at my local laundromat. We spent a lot of time talking on those Saturday laundry days. I found out she had a tough life and very little of her own that wasn't from a Thrift Store or 3-hand. I asked her if she could stop by my apartment one day after her shift. I then gave her the entire contents of my kitchen: dishes, flatware, cooking utensils, you name it. We both cried like babies and it was a beautiful moment in an otherwise bittersweet time.
