TAKE CARE OF THOSE WHO TAKE CARE OF YOU
Ernie is our Superintendent who takes consistently great care of our building throughout the year. He is always there when you need him, never complains and follows through on his commitments. He takes his job seriously and doesn’t waiver from his principles. Ernie is a simple man. He works hard and lives within his means.
Yesterday, my husband and I took him to lunch at a local beach spot. When asked if he had ever been there, he replied that he hadn’t since he “always brings lunch.” He ordered a simple chicken Caesar salad and avoided the croutons since he eats healthy now and has lost almost 50 lbs. He was so grateful to get to go to lunch, but we were so glad to have the opportunity to take him. He does so much for us…it was the least we could do.
Tonight, I was sitting out on my balcony, looking at the ocean waves crash against the shore, while my dog was leaning out through the rails barking at something below. What is she doing? I don’t see anything down there.
I took Daisy downstairs and ran into Ernie (2 hours after quitting time…still working away) and he greeted us with enthusiasm, reached down to pet my dog and asked if her pig was on the lawn outside. Aha! I knew what she was barking about and appreciated his attention to details. Poor rubber pig would have perished if it wasn’t for Ernie…and now I get to enjoy the musical snorts for the rest of the evening. Praise God!
Daisy says “Thanks Ernie for finding my pig!”
