We missed Uncle Henry!

We missed Uncle Henry!

He has pinky cheeks, white hair almost bold, a healthy looking senior citizen who used to work as a senior security guard at the Maplewoods Condominium. He is a caring person who loves children and take good care of us whenever we needed help from him for our art classes! He would let us use the function or meeting room when parents facing Internet booking problem or absent minded parents who forgot to book the venue!

I remembered 4 years back, I stopped teaching Art at Maplewoods. Uncle Henry gave the parents my contact numbers which I'd registered from the entrance guards. I think that time was very strict because of SARS, they would want us to fill up our contact numbers as well. My art classes regained with new students again! Old students came back too! Uncle Henry definitely made the art classes happening again when he got me back! I'm fully grateful for his assistance and being a responsible and caring security guard. He'd made Maplewoods a place filled with children's joy and cheers! I can tell in his eyes, he's very happy to see children cheering around when the art class is on! He has definitely see the children growing up!

This year, we don't get to see him in the security office anymore. The management told us Uncle Henry has retired... we are very sad....but, we hope to see him again if we can :D I am so regret that I never take picture of him with the children, however, his kind image is always on our mind. Hope he could come back one Monday and visit all of us!

Wish Uncle Henry has a happy golden years ahead!

With all our well wishes and blessing!
