I appreciate the effort. And I appreciate your comment. I have to admit I was a little worried that taking note of someone's name and address was kind of "stalkerish" but under the circumstances I didn't care. Like I said, for whatever reason, I HAD to do it.

my brother just lost his wife of 44 years so i could kinda relate to your story. i pictured him being the old man at the door. she was a helluva woman.

May he find peace and comfort and heal as best and as quickly as he can.

Can you break that up a little with the use of the enter key or space bar?

Sniffle, Snooooorrrrt. Awww. Quitcherbichin.

Nicely done, OP.

 

[marcum man]

It was very nice of you to send a card, you are a good person.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Nicely done.

Come on over to my place and say it to my face

What I wouldn't give for that to happen....

So.......You never did get to what we all want to know..........

I didn't pack the bag. I just ran the food. I can tell you though that I was most likely overpriced and not made with the quality ingredients most pizza joints would lead you to believe they use

Wow. Touching story. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
It's rare for the men to outlive the women. Sometimes it seems like they have a harder time dealing with it. You made a difference that day.

 

[PX4me]

Nothing silly about it at all.

Now go offer him a job delivering pizzas.

Great story. There is still good people out there, like you. That card will make his day!

Hey, we're trying to be serious here. Stop crackin' jokes in the middle of our serious conversation.

I really do hope so. And even if it doesn't, I really needed to do that. I can't let someone make such an unbelievable impression on me without letting them know. I doubt he has any idea just what I felt that day, but hopefully the letter I sent with the card will shed some light on it.

I think you done good. Great, as a matter of fact.

I absolutely adore your snarky smart-assedness.

That's a great story .. thanks for sharing.

We tend to take people for granted .. It's easy to forget that everyone has a story. Every one of us has lived a lifetime of ups and downs, good and bad, successes and losses, joy and pain. When we take the time to notice or hear the story, we become more human ...

 

[KG1]

Sounds to me both lives were touched in a good way and I truly believe you were meant to deliver pizza that day OP

 

[Birds Away]

Crap, now I've got something in my eye.

Double crap, now I'm hungry for pizza.











BTW, you're a peach.

Have thought about dropping in on him? I've had one instance like yours that something little affected me a lot. I was even working in a pizza joint at the time. I became friends with this wonder older couple.

I actually have thought about it. I feel like I should give him a little time first though. I remember when my dad died a couple years ago. My mom didn't want anything to do with anyone for a little while. She just needed to hide from the world for a bit.

It's lonely - trust me.

I can only imagine. After seeing what my mother went through, I'm dreading when (if) that time comes for me. I just don't feel like rushing this guy into something right away the right thing to do. It would be nice if I hear from him. My return address is on the envelope I mailed him so maybe he will reach out
