Finally, we meet again
The pieces of our past resurface
Now it's time for you to put that dagger to use, take the strike
Oh, how misty I've become
How could a monster like me ever feel the warmth of your love ever now
Oh, I still
Remember those days
We had our hands in eachothers
We walked through the crowds and did our duties as we should of
But, that past is gone
And you are gone
And I am gone
And I have lost myself in this endless spiral of my hate

Dịch, free tick =)

Bonnie and Ned Rogers, both 74, have also spent their retirement helping others. They were born and raised on Staten Island, met in college on a blind date and have been married for 52 years. In 2000, after retiring from the telecom industry, Ms. Rogers saw an ad in her church newsletter for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, run by Community Service Society, another organization supported by The Fund.

“I wasn't quite old enough at the time to join,” Ms. Rogers explains, “but they let me be a sort of welcome volunteer.”

Two years later, when a friend and fellow volunteer passed away, the program asked if Ms. Rogers could take over his route for Meals on Wheels, a food assistance program for seniors. Mr. Rogers joined her after he retired in 2004, and they've been working it as a team ever since.

“You have a route with dedicated people, and over time you establish a relationship with them,” Mr. Rogers said. “A lot of the clients are homebound, and they look forward every day to having this interaction with somebody.”

Those relationships were brought to an abrupt halt by the pandemic. In March, the service shifted to providing weekly deliveries of frozen food instead of prepared food five days a week, and volunteers like Mr. and Ms. Rogers were put on the bench.

“We really missed it,” Mr. Rogers said. “While volunteering, we give back, but there's a lot we receive from doing it, too. It's not true altruism. It gives us a reason for being.”

In May, Mr. and Ms. Rogers returned to their Meals on Wheels route as community organizations found ways to adapt.

The couple worried about those whom they hadn't seen in weeks. But on their first day back, they were pleased to see many familiar faces. “The thank you's, the smiles - even with masks on - were wonderful,” Ms. Rogers said.
