Syd, this is surely one of your finest, and that's saying something. But hey, did you ever think 60 years ago that you'd be writing for Oldster Magazine? I had never heard that you had George's axe, and that it had been stolen. There's gotta be a story there as well!

Thanks, Jim. Well, I already done wrote a poem about the axe theft.

Dang. Don't recall it. I'll look for it.

I love your stories, Syd. You are so fortunate to have these memories.

Coming from YOU, that's very reassuring! XO

We Orthodox every day, in our morning prayers, are expected to thank God that he has roused us from sleep and treated us, not as we deserve, but with his customary loving kindness. I think the same attitude underlies that prayer and your friend’s sentiment.
