Leonard about The Bench, Smoking, and Friends
THE BENCH
I read every name.
I bow my head in gratitude.
SMOKING
I took a puff the other night.
Didn't like it.
Maybe try again come 90.
DEAR FRIENDS
Thank you for the countless times you have lifted my spirit.
Thank you for the comfort and the encouragement.
Love and Blessings,
Leonard

Beautiful words. Thank you Leonard.
And I'm so glad you've put off smoking again until 90. It's no good for you .....

Dear Leonard,
THE BENCH: I’m very deeply touched.
SMOKING: At that age, you can do anything you want to!
DEAR FRIENDS: The feeling is so completely mutual.

Great to hear this. (He couldn't really embrace smoking again, could he ? )
Thanks, Jarkko.
