I took care of Leonard at the nursing facility in Oakland as a CNA. I had him almost every shift for 6 months, so we got to know each other. Other CNAs were afraid of him; he could snap at you sometimes, and so could his roommate and best friend, William. I became "theirs" in a way. We just got along. Leonard liked that I would clean up his space, organize his clothes, look for his wallet and make sure he knew it was right by him, and check in on him even when I wasn't assigned to him. Leonard he could be so funny. For all the suffering he was enduring at the time, to have that kind of sense of humor is really something special. When he would get snippy, he'd apologize later. He stood up for me, he stood up for William. I also was able to meet his son. Maybe he remembers me, but we only met a few times. I saved Leonard from choking once, I kept him clean, I made sure he drank and ate.  I don't know who he was before I met him, I don't know his past, but I cared for the man I did get to know. The reason I am writing this long after his passing is because I think of him from time to time. I hope he has peace. I hope his family does, too.  Miss you, Leonard. William made it out, so don't worry about him.
