Old+Person

i look out my window every morning at 7.30 to see this old man walking down the street. he scares me.His name is Geoffrey Robert Douglas, he’s 85 and very skinny. He has brown eyes, a huge nose, a very old looking face. His head is mainly bald and the hair he has got is grey. Geoffrey has had a very hard life, when he was 5 his parents died in a train crash he then had to go and live with his sister at this time she was only 13. They lived in Gore, him and his sister struggled to look after them selves with lack of money, food and warmth and and got very sick. Geoffrey still went to school until he was 7th form. He found school very hard and had many ups and downs. When he finally finished school he got a job in the goldmine’s. He worked there for 5 year and got his life set up. Geoffrey shifted away from his sister and moved to wellington and lived with his aunty. in wellington he got a job working in the air port as one of the head pilot’s. This let him travel around the world and see a lot of different things. About two years into being a pilot he met a very nice woman called helen.

Helen was a very nice lady and looked after Geoffrey in the nicest way possible. When he meet helen she was 25 and skinny, in Geoffrey words she was beautiful and adorable. As t;hese two grew up together, in there mid 30’s they had to children called annabel and tim. at this time they still lived in wellington but were looking for somewhere to move. the next year they shifted to christchurch. They opened there own restaurant and made a fortune. then the daughter took this over as Geoffrey and Helen retired.

Then one day Geoffrey was in a fatal car crash and died, helen was then left alone and decided she wanted nothing to do with the family because she felt her connection ( Geoffrey ) was gone. When i herd this from my mum i was mortified even though i was scarred of this guy when i was young.
