you know, you don't realize how many people you touch. My son, who still works in the feeder department gets 4 or 5 drivers a day stopping him on the yard and wishing me well. Some I don't know from Adam. Had a dozen phone calls from other drivers from the past. I even had a manager stop by my room one Sunday for almost 2 hours to chat. The guy was probably my favorite when I was a driver. If you went to the guy with a problem, he WOULD look into it and get back to you. That and the fact I was desperate to talk to another person. haha It was so important to me to be home for Thanksgiving, even though we are planning a scaled down version this year instead of traveling to my BIL's as usual. Just wife, son and myself. My daughter has to work up in Dallas, so she can't be here, but she came down for a week during my stay and we will see her and her hubby Christmas. I hate to admit it, but I'm crying as I type this. errr, no, really, it's just something in my eye. I AM so blessed. I have not been a member here for very long, but I find that you are like a second family to me, and I thank you for all your kind words, thoughts, and prayers. rob
