Reminded me of the Bible verse about the bread and fish. The more you gave away, the more you had. True blessings for many.

I always enjoyed having a large garden, and I used to supply fresh vegetables all summer long to the senior meal center about four miles from here. It was a pleasure reading your story. I too have a Troy Built. They don't come any better.

Wonderful, Mark.
You touched people.
Can there be anything better?

I loved this story, showing how a seemingly casual kindness could blossom into helping so many people. I'm proud to have you as a neighbor, sort of. I live just up the coast a bit. I look forward to more stories! Carol

Hi Mark, I have been enjoying reading all your stories on OurEcho. This one gave me shivers because of the way it all unfolded -- you needing help, receiving help, giving and getting. I could think of a dozen quotes and remarks, but bottom line is you reap what you sow. Loved this one a lot, many thanks for starting off my morning with a big smile and lots to think about.

Mark, you have a gift for evoking emotions in your readers. I have been at the edge of tears while reading several of your stories.
