money for food while i did my artwork in my mindfulness colour books to attract more crowds to hand overmoney fpr food,though ron kept a close eye on me recieving the donation pof money so i dont sneak over to a pub to drink well i thought two weeks of his help of staying dry and sober had helped me and more mon ey were donated through my artwork of my mindfulness colouring pages ,soon ron

,and he dont have to watch me constantly and my new unit with art painting on my walls and ron b ought me a big nice painting he secretly paid at the old museum we had visited. well good times and bad time is how two good friends are meant to be and as we gotten older and older and ron had gotten ill at his old age and later died,,burt i never still went back to the demon drink i carried on strange in another ,by refusing to leave my house and as im older now and have on going care in my own unit vas i refused to enter a nursing ho e especcially not without my paintings and also i added a few bookshelves as also liked to read and how i acted strange over rons death was i hated being out in pub lic on my own as i started to have a hAtred toward being around other people,so when need to do any grocery shopping or atenda medical appointment i would only bwant to be out with my carer and when the carer finished her shift with me i would listen to sad music as i did my art and read books often staying up late to either read ,draw por paint,and sleep most through the day from a load of coffee consumption through my night of reading ,drawing and painting and i at least had my love affair at the old museum with a long time friend,bless me for ron ,if alots persons of the world would be able to treasure a friend for life,,,slowly recovered from the trauma i started backmon myb trips into the city to seethat museum with my carer and brought me home after as i kind of had an little accident at the museum and broken a major little piece of an artifact of a head sculptor so the security seeing me with a walking stick and my carer apologising and i gotten to taking the beautiful piece of that head sculptor back home with no charge at all cost,,. great full for a wonderful gift,,,the end this story may have a bit of suspense but still happy and sad and fun,to read at all times ,. would be a good holiday read ,i reckon, truest story of good friendship for a lifetime of treasured good and bad times ,,, and i lived on with still attending the old museum and that art gallery .i withthe carer,,,.into the far future till im old old and passed away,, then one day i attended an artshow i been invited to with one of my own paintings on display and won second prize money of $1000 and when asked what i,d like to do with the winning money and made the right plan to put it in a savings account for maybe toward my own funeral sometime but which wont be for a long time as from now..,maybe keep the money ifv any emergency shopping needed as hearing on news therewill soon be a crisis in the world of coronavirus which would have a bad impact of world povertyand people with not much money and All,well when that would happen and people under isolation, ,.but i keep my savings of that situation coming or not ,,,,,,so many person died during all this virus when it happened and even other people were afraid to sleep at night but slowly the chronic virus went away and we all were able to rebuild new different lives .slowly in time ,
