THE GRACE OF AGE
I took an elderly friend downtown,wholesale penguins socks, for groceries. She's a sweet lady. This started me thinking of how life has a way of softening some people,custom baseball jerseys cheap, while others remain,wholesale fc proto jerseys for sale, or become, mean and nasty.
Years ago, I worked at an irrigation company,Wholesale Vip Cheao Nike Authentic Jerseys Free Shipping Online, as a bookkeeper. A well to do farmer came in,Hot Wholesale Cheap Wolfsburg Authentic Soccer Jerseys For Sale Free Shipping From China, on a regular basis. I would see him, chatting with my boss,wholesale le'veon be jerseys china, or when he was ordering parts. I had no reason, or opportunity,cheap nfl jerseys free shipping, to talk to him.

The farmer walked up to the parts counter and stood for a minute before I went out to talk to him. He wanted to see my boss. I told him that I would get him,wholesale nfl jerseys cheap, and could I tell my boss who wanted to see him.

He then told me his name, which I never forgot. From then on I always thought,wholesale lyon jerseys for sale, "Here comes that nasty,Discount Custom Wholesale Baseball Authentic Jerseys Online Center, Mr_____!"

He walked carefully and shakily towards the door of the store. I recognized him as Mr.___. And I surprised myself by feeling such empathy for him.
He looked at me and smiled. "I'm sorry,wholesale Derrick Rose jerseys from china," he said. "I'm getting old and I don't recognize people like I used to. Will you tell me who you are?"
I gave him my name and told him the irrigation company that I had worked at. We chatted for a few moments. He was returning from Calgary, AB,cheap Nick Young jerseys china, where he was taking treatments for an illness. He was staying with his daughter and they had decided to grab a few groceries before going to her home.
I shook his hand, and we said goodbye.
