Certainly there are lots of things in life that money wonāt buy, but have you ever tried to buy them without money?

These are so good because they are real life…………… After my husband died I was trying to close out an account and the woman after offering condolences asked what his zip code was. I said I didn’t think they had those in heaven. There was a silence and then a kind of choked cough, so I apologized, admitting I just couldn’t resist it. Some of the conversations changing things over to me were simply surreal! My favorite on this collection is the first one……at 86 that one hits home! Thanks for all the times you’ve given me a lift out of sadness. Pure grace!! You rock! (as my grandkids say)
