        Oh this makes me so sad! He was there every morning and evening during my internship. Only ended last Monday so I’m pleased I got to see him bask in the sun so recently

        I had made a habit of seeking him out each morning and evening to say hello and tell him how handsome he was while I was there this past month. I am so sad to hear this news.
