Closure

Well, we got the news that our little neighborhood coffee shop is closing. Permanently.  Today I had the unpleasant task of informing our staff that in two weeks their jobs will be gone.

They took the news fairly well, our employees, and I was proud of the maturity and composure they showed, even though I knew it wasn’t easy for them. I just wanted to hug them all.

A door is closing for the ten of us. Literally.

But we’re already looking ahead for the open window.
