Re: Honor them

i was taking care of an 85ish year old man. in course of conversation i found out that he had served in the navy.

i thanked him

he said, "no, thank you" i asked him why he was thanking me and he said because i was the first person to ever thank him for serving.

that in itself made my eyes water it took almost 60 years for someone to say thank you to him

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.
