Yes it takes me about 2 hrs every time I go see him and I’m sure I could make more money staying at the shop, but my joy is making Ron’s day better and learning from his experience”.
These are the words that Jonathan, an American barber, posted on Facebook. Since Ron, one of his most attached clients, was hit by Parkinson’s and stopped moving from home because of motor difficulties, he decided to take care of him going to visit hime every three weeks to shave his beard. A mission he’s been conducting seriously because – Jonathan says – Ron is teaching him how to take care of beloved ones, to believe in important values and enjoy life as long as one can.
"Everyone meet Ron. He has been my client for about 1 year now. I visit him about every 3 weeks to cut his hair. Since Ron has Parkinson's Disease, it's very hard for him to leave his apartment. Every time I'm there, I find so much joy that I made his day better with a simple cut and visit. We have great conversations, and most importantly he shows me that I must always value what I have. Also, to work hard and to take care of others even in small ways. Life isn't just about "me" like the world portrays. Yes it takes me about 2 hrs every time I go see him and I'm sure I could make more money staying at the shop, but my joy is making Ron's day better and learning from his experience.
A true blessing to have a friendship with someone of this age. His experience and knowledge will most definitely never go forgotten. By the way, Ron was a book designer. Most of you have probably read or used one of the books he designed. The famous World Book Encyclopedia. Whenever you see one of those, Ron here designed it. Remember, make a small difference in someone's life, and your blessings will never stop. Thank you for the great times Ron."
