Companionship wanted: Henri's baking and a cup of tea
Henri lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Henri, who's 79. Henri lives alone in Metz, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away.
Henri loves baking, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
Thank you so much.

rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Piraeus.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
you're not alone, Pierre. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Bristol.
Wishing Henri a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
