After a year of working every weekend, I eventually decided to leave and turned in my two-week notice. The most difficult part of __4__ was not telling my boss, but informing Frank. I felt like I was __5__ him. When I finally brought it up, he __6__ replied,“Oh, that's too bad. I'm sure that the staff will miss you.”I began to think that our visits held no real importance to him, and that he would be just as__7__ enjoying his food alone. __8__, on my last day, Frank came in with a card that simply read, “Your kindness during the time we have spent together is heartwarming. You had no __9 __ to speak a word to me, let alone show a real interest in our conversations. Few things have brought me more pleasure than our weekly visits.
