Axel's 2013 New Year's Resolution

 

Axel lived at the Southlake Village Rehabilitation and Care Center for about seven months until his passing on March 21, 2013.

About a month after his death, the Southlake Activities director sent his daughter Bev something that made her week. On New Year's Day, Axel had gone to an activity at Southlake called "New Year's Resolutions" and had filled out a little card. The card read:

2013 New Year's Resolutions

1) Make a new friend each week.

2) Lose a pound each month.

3) Attend 2014 party.

Those three resolutions are pure Axel: Always ready to be a friend. Pragmatic. Optimistic.

I'm sure he'd also appreciate this definition of resolutions:

RESOLUTIONS

In one year and out the other.
