I wanted to share an amazing experience we had in the past week. My daughter attends a small private Lutheran Elementary School in Fort Wayne, IN. Last week, my daughter injured her heel and could not walk on it. After X-rays and a Dr visit, we arrived at school Tuesday morning in a wheelchair. For…
My son’s 19-year-old girlfriend Tahlia was expected but rang to say she was delayed.
A few weeks ago I received a belated birthday card from a beautiful lady that I have formed a wonderful true friendship with through a mutual friend on facebook.
He is the center of our galaxy, I’ll admit that. Brady had been asking for two days to go carp spearing again. The stars aligned one afternoon and all three of us were free at the same time. Joe and I and 12-year-old Brady loaded up the trusty old Ford pick-up truck. The three of…
Ten years ago, I was fortunate enough to be the Administrative Assistant at a local church. When I had started to attend years before, a friend would pick me and another older lady up and drive us to church every Sunday. I learned this older lady used to be the Administrative Assistant to the previous…
I was in a HEB (in San Antonio, Texas) the other day and I nearly passed out in the store (I’ve been very ill — I have a chronic illness). The cashier while I was waiting to check out was super, I told her I was about to pass out, she got me a chair…

There are good people out there. After my 12 hour shift, I was driving home thinking about dinner (forgot my lunch) and I got a flat tire. I pulled off the freeway and had to stop in a turn only lane with my flashers on. I called AAA and they said they’d be 45 minutes!
I went shopping today; I hadn’t wanted to go alone because it can be pretty difficult when you’re on crutches, but I didn’t have any help so used a driving cart.
Several years ago I went back to college after taking some years off. To make it less stressful with the transition back, I took music classes. I was nervous but excited. I made great progress in my music, but more than that, I formed deep friendships. Most of the people in the group were old…
Up the street from my 4-year-old grandson, a boy was visiting his dad who lives with the boys grandparents after separating from his wife. The boy had very few toys and was riding and admiring one of my grandson’s 2 scooters. My grandson, out of the blue, told him he could have it. Even after…
