Them Blankets

8/23/2016

Len stared off, into the open space out his window while I sang through to the end of "Love Me Tender."

When the music stopped we kept the silence together. Then he spoke.
​
"My wife left me. I got a daughter. She gave me them blankets. She's got a baby now but she ain't married. She might come see me."

"Does she like music?"

"I don't know. I ain't been around her 'til I got sick and come here. This is a nice place. They take good care a you."

So few words, but so much information. What is beginning to happen in this scene?  Ideas?

Len felt a real connection with you through your music. "Love Me Tender" touched him deeply and took him back to earlier and better days. He was then more comfortable with sharing with you some personal information about his "story".

memories, reflection of good times & bad, loss and now gain, hope in connecting with daughter & grandchild. Grateful, for having a listener and a comfortable place...
