Wish you well Duck!
It is already October 17,
2013 and The Giant Rubber Duck, affectionately called, “Duck” will be leaving
the waters of Pittsburgh soon.
It has been gray and rainy
for days, I must go to say farewell before the fowl weather and heavy rains kick in, pardon the pun.
I always used to say on these days, "Good duck weather". But now that I know Duck, I try to restrain my tongue and consider his feelings. It is the kind thing to do.
After a quick peek, Duck
turned his back on me when he saw me coming. “Why visit me now?” Quacks
Duck.
But, when I pulled out the
big luscious pear from my pocket that my friend Olga sent for Duck, he perked
up a bit.
I told him I have been
researching new homes for him so he can transition well on October 20th,
when he gets out of jail.
One option was Young’s Funny
Farm. He could join up with other Duck
Therapists and meet new clients through the farm.
They highly value therapy
ducks and had this to say on their web site:
The ducks have a “magical”
touch with people as they stroke the soft feathers. They bring big smiles
to all they visit.
If that doesn’t appeal to
duck, we can have him head up the next annual hospice fundraiser. He can start planning now.
Duck's spirits picked up a bit
after our visit. I was joined by many
other visitors that wanted to wish Duck well today.
I brought him to pear to
symbolize what a good pair of friends we have become and to always remember I
am here for him as his counselor and will support his career choices. I plan to monitor Duck after job placement to help buoy his spirits and to be his career coach. Good-bye for now Duck. We love you!!!
We will miss you Duck!
ReplyDeleteYes we will. Thanks for the note. Duck is sorry he didn't meet you in person, but from what I've told him, he thinks that you are, "Just Ducky!"
