It felt strange.
She peered keenly at the sign on the entrance wall of the general practician’s office.
Her familiar family doctor had retired.
She gazed pensively at the notice that announced it.
He had told her that he was going to retire at the end of the year.
But, for some strange reason, she felt bereft.
A chapter of her life had come to a close.
He had tended to her and her family for many years.
She hadn’t even thanked him, she mused wistfully.
