This is just a WUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNderful story!

Made me happy and made me cry.

I read some of the comments. Just about every one of them spoke about crying, too. Lots of happy weepy people. We sure could use more stories like this one. Sometimes life in this country just looks so damn bleak for far too many. Especially with all the shit in the news, otherwise.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this, Are_grits_groceries. This was a true gem! A keeper!
