to the special guy with the red cap

The one time I enjoy going around the room to hear why we are all thankful for this year. Yes we are thankful all year long for the things life throws at us and for the things that are unexpected. There are reasons why things happen that we will never understand. This year the hot topic was family. What are we thankful for?, family. We never know how long we have each other here on earth.

Write what you are grateful for on the opposite side.

Someone had wrote this on theirs.

It was sweet because we were on a date night.

We live on a hill and cutting the grass is a bummer. We have an ally that also needs the grass to be cut. To get to the ally we would have to go down the street to go behind it because we don't have a gateway access to the back. When Heather would go to cut it she would notice that it didn't need cutting. I wasn't sure why the grass wasn't growing or the fact that it wasn't possible for it to need be cut. I kept saying that maybe someone was cutting it for us. I'd say that with such sarcasm as in a fairy tale world. While heading out this afternoon I noticed someone in the ally. It sounded like someone was setting concrete so I looked out and noticed the top off a cap. I noticed it real close to the fence. I needed to leave the house so I couldn't stop to talk to the person but I did notice what was going on. My speculations were correct. He was cutting the grass in the ally with his weed eater. I thanked God for him. If you only knew how thankful I was for him. He didn't have to cut our grass and I hadn't realized how long he had been doing it. I was wondering how I'd find out which one of our neighbors was doing it. On my way back I drove through the ally and did my investigation. I have ways of coming up with conclusions and found out that not only was he our two houses down neighbor but had also cut our next door neighbors grass. He didn't have to do it but he did. What would cross his mind and heart to take extra time to do so. People don't do things for free anymore. All I could think of was the fact that he did it out of the kindness of his heart. He didn't do it to be acknowledged. He did it without us even finding out and for that I am thankful. Now that I know that he had been doing it I will have to surprise him with a thankful gift. He always waves at us when we see him outside and when we saw him today it was an extra special wave, hello.

People always cross us without us knowing the gestures they do in their life time. Too many thank yous go unsaid.
