It was a nice warm day at the Birch Street Nursing Home, so the patients put on their summer sweaters and we took a walk across the street to the Birch Street Cemetery. I was surprised that Mr. Pearlman wanted to join us. I think he was still feeling good after winning the Name That Tune competition at our National Disability Independence Day celebration last week. We were all having a good time reminiscing about some of the old patients until Mr. Pearlman tripped over Mrs. Chang's headstone. We had trouble getting him back on his feet, and he told us to just leave him there to rot since that is where he'll end up soon anyway. But eventually we got him up and across to the Birch Street Nursing Home. After my shift, I went back to the cemetery to clean the blood off Mrs. Chang's headstone.
