hi all
i had one couple they where so nice then i went round one day and the lady was in a right state are you ok i said no my husband has gone to AnE as he had such a bad head anyway did the windows and she paid no probs but when i went round 6 weeks later she came to the door as normal hi i said how is he? oh she said all ok he is in the back fixing my washing machine great i said only a head ache then
no she replyed he has got brain cancer
well i did not know what to say
i felt so bad she was ok she just said i wasnt to know well i finished the frond and went round the back all the time thinking what am i going to see let alone say
well round the back i went oh sh** he was in a right state no hair about 4 stone in weight just bad she made me a tea and both of them normaly had a chat with me it was just him this time
he just got up shook my hand said thanks for cleaning his windows thanks for all the chats and stuff and to look after myself well with that i had to choke back my tears well when i was about to go i said to the lady shall i call again oh yes dont be silly the next time i called sadly the man had died 3 days before so still very raw but she did say he was happy that i had called when i did as he wanted to say his goodbyes to people even the window cleaner yes i still do the windows and we still talk about him i have had about 8 people die over the years just part of it still not nice as well all get to know our customers very well just makes you think how lucky we really are
ps hope you dont think this is to morbid stu
