Day 16
As I have said before, I am a sucker for a great feel good story. Today's is no exception.
While on my route this morning, at one of my new stops, I beeped as I normally do and got out of the bus to meet my rider. After a few minutes of waiting, I decided to walk around to her front door and see where she was.
Hanging on the door was a gift bag that read "Happy Birthday".
When Henry her husband answered the door, I asked "whose birthday was it?".
He said it was his 90th!
"Wow....that's wonderful" I said."Happy birthday!".
And then he added, I actually celebrate two birthdays in the same week. Today May 10th is my birthday.3 Days ago, I celebrated as well.
On May 7th, 1945, I was liberated from the concentration camp.
My eyes met his and I could see the tears begin to well up in his eyes. Then he smiled and said...."90 years....I have had a very good life!"
There you go!
