This morning I found out that one of Niko's "elderly friends" passed away last night. Joel Young, 77, was one of Niko's favorite people! He always rode around town in his motor wheel chair and we would run into him everywhere! Whether it was friday night markets, Broulims grocery store or just seeing him on our daily walks. He adored Niko. He would get Niko's attention by saying "Hey small guy! Small guy, oh you wanna fight, you wanna fight?!" He was so funny. He never knew my name, but whenever he needed to talk to me he'd say "HEY LADY!" He made us smile and laugh all the time. Our favorite thing is the Shrek watch he gave to Niko. He rode his motor wheel chair all the way to McDonalds and got a happy meal just so he could get Niko a little toy. We will never forget our friend and will miss seeing him almost everyday.
Luckily, Niko has not lost the watch and we have this to remember him by.
