This husband of mine…

Shares stories about his life in Texas…lived in a tiny town…across from a cotton mill…and a small store…one time a kid came to the door…his old car had broken down…it needed a part…but the stores were closed…until the next day…

That father of his…offered the young man a meal…and made up a cot on the porch…for him to spend the night…how did you sleep…Papo asked the guest the next morning…ok..came the reply…but in the night…something started climbing on me…up and down my body…and then started clawing at my feet…had to cover my face with the blanket…until it went away…

Oh…chuckled his father…that would be Coon…he was probably just curious…

Then off they went…Papo driving the young man 30 miles to town…paying for the part…because his new friend…had no money…then fixing the car…so he could be on his way…

Kindness…generosity…compassion…
Color those numbers in…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
