He wants for nothing but complains about everything about children who never call and even though they do a lot.
Neighbors he -- threat to get an even though they are not.
Angry and alone.
He just sits and -- and this night I stopped by and -- man as he loaded for bear.
He seething over some delivery guy apparently left his mailbox open and refused to close it.
Can you believe daddy tells -- second time this month.
Well I'm sure it was an accident I -- talent and -- Hearing none of it this night he proceeds to rattle off a series of similar -- all -- all stupid all sad.
What happen to this guy this guy is to know well when my mom and dad were alive a contemporary of -- still bitterly marching on in life.
Years after well they both left this life.
My mom use to dismiss his ways because he insisted he was a good soul then again my mom would have probably said that about Osama bin Laden because he had a good art.
I thought a lot about my mom looking at this guy and hearing this guy as he criticizes kids.
Who would do anything foreign even his grandkids who for some reason -- the world and and and then I thought about something my mom used to say about how you can tell a lot about a person by what gets them upset.
Little things little person petty things petty person.
Yeah no matter these annoying things to my mom at least always the same person always a good person yes even this person and to this person.
A person deserving of her kindness and an obligation ice -- -- the same kindness.
No matter what I thought she would always say -- don't be -- then I remembered my mom when she was diagnosed with brain cancer.
And the dignity with which she handled that very crew camps.
I remember -- she never complain.
Never set a bad word.
Never judge the friend who should have called more often just grateful he called at all and left it at that.
I think you can also tell a lot about a person by how they handle the really bad stuff -- life.
There are those like this fellow I shake my head at this -- who would sooner go to their grave with a chip on their shoulder.
And those like my mom again I'm -- who prefer to leave it without so much as a bad word out of there now.
I know.
I am biased but I will tell you this this Fella he would do well to remember my mom his old friend and how she smiled through her far greater pain.
He tells me save it for one of your common sense things and preach about it on TV and I told them I would do just that.
Hoping he gets the message I do so tonight.
Hoping the rest of us never forget that message it's a simple message from a simple woman my mom who was right.
Life is short but that doesn't mean we have today.
That's why I have such a problem with negative people.
It's in my blood.
