Good Sunday Morning :)

Thanks John...it was a nice night but, I did see all the movies we watched several times before. Although, it wasn't about movies.

The best thing for my father happened yesterday. Our last big snow storm had me at my father's house plowing and I looked out my side window and saw an old man. I dropped my window and he asked if I plowed for a living. I told him no and that I was doing it for my father. I asked where he lived and he told me around the corner and it was very important that he get his car out as soon as possible. I told him I would be there in 10 mins.

I went to his house and plowed his driveway and he just could not believe that I wouldn't accept any money from him. He told me that he didn't know there were still people like me around. I mean, this guy was 90 and both neighbors on each side of him had snowblowers and yet, he was left to shovel. He then told me he had to get out to take his lady friend to breakfast. I told him, I would see him next snowstorm.

Yesterday, he brought me a loaf of bread to my father's house that his lady friend had baked for me. I wasn't there so my father invited him in and they talked for almost 2 hours. It seems that this man had not only lost his wife but both of his sons in Vietnam. And yet, he has managed to go on and even has a girlfriend at 90 years of age.

For the first time since my Mother's death, my father said yesterday, "I guess life does go on".
