Hi all,
At work Friday morning, the guy that usually loads our trucks had to take off.
All the drivers were bitching because our trucks weren't loaded and ready to go, and the poor guy stuck with doing two jobs for the morning was apologizing to us all. He takes a great deal of pride in his job, and as at most jobs, gets very few "attaboys".
He is a guy around my age (50's) who also has a 7yo little girl. He loves her, and like me, talks about her all the time.
Any way, before I left on my route I took the opportunity to thank him for his help and say what a good job he'd done. That cost me nothing.
A few minutes later I was walking to my truck, he said "Coyote, you have a great weekend, and by the way, happy Mothers day".
Wow, made my eyes well up.
So in the spirit of "paying it forward"..... Mr. B, where ever you are, you have a happy Mothers day as well! :ghug3
Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote
