...from my one (Ethiopian) coworker who's on the bigger side, who had moved to a different department but who I'd still see around the resthome a lot when I worked there:

Hi [my first name], how are you? How is new city right there, it is not easy all of a sudden you move from here, and it not easy we work together for long and now no [my first name] in [resthome name], I wish they call me if they did a a fair wel party, but no body remember me, any way have a good one [my first name]!! It's [her first name] your previous co-worker

. . .

Honestly, aren't so many of my coworkers and residents from the resthome the nicest? It's honestly one of the best jobs that I've ever had.
