The Sweetest Clients

The Sweetest Clients

Noel Laflin

December 2018

Years ago, we used to give out See’s Candy to our doctors and staff. Christmas was the one time of the year that sales reps were welcomed into offices with open arms.
 
Every year, months in advance of the holidays, we would be given a list of the current clients and asked to update.

Over the years some of the doctors had retired, left as clients, or died.

But somehow I always seemed to overlook those names.
My mother, father, lovers, co-workers, and friends never objected to receiving a pound or two of See’s Candy despite the label addressed to doctor and staff.
