Letter to the Editor

Editor:

I moved to LW last July away from home where I lived for almost 40 years. Now I am barely oriented to this place.

When I moved here, the houses were located with various directions and angles where the addresses were placed out of order. These conditions didn’t help much for my failing memory and orientation, but now I can hardly get over this.

Sometimes when I come home from long travels, I feel like a foreigner. Surprisingly, when I go through the security gate, the guard directs traffic and his hand motion and directions are given with a welcoming smile. I wonder if they know how this makes me feel so warmly welcomed to this place.

Sometimes in the late evening when I feel alone, I go to the gym to play ping pong with the machine, and the guys working there welcome me with a big smile. This makes me feel like I’m happily home.
