[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1754290, member: 32659"] Hospitals are depressing places even though they save countless lives. Several yrs ago a friend of mine sold his feed store and land and kinda retired but still cut hay in the summer. A year later his youngest daughter got married and moved out. I'm gonna guess he was in his mid fifties at the time. When his daughter left him and his wife moved out of state to do volunteer work at a childrens hospital. A good friend of his told me that when he got to the hospital they ask him how he wanted to help and his reply was this. How about getting me a wig, big shoes, and a clown nose so I can cheer these poor kids up. So amoung other things he dressed up and visited kids all day. I saw him a good while after he left and he said it was the most rewarding thing he's ever done. We haven't seen him in about a year so not sure what he's up too. He was always a good guy, a little dry on the humor but really nice guy. My nephew had Lukemia when he was 3 so we spent several years at the hospital and helping out with him. It was depressing and hard times but he's 21 now and probably 6'1" 200# so he got through it just fine. There's always hope [/QUOTE]
