Tom's 4-wheeler has been down for a week. That is a big deal because he gets restless but doesn't like being around people and just plain does not like to leave our woods. I cringe at the thought of having to take him ANYWHERE away from here. So when he feels restless he just goes for a ride down the road on the 4 -wheeler. We have woods roads, logging roads, snow mobile trails, and hunting trails, all right here. It gives him a sense of freedom and the woods IS his "home".
So my wonderful mechanic son "Travis" came to our rescue this morning and had the 4 wheeler fixed and he was back on the road for his 2 hour drive home by 10:00 A.M. Travis often puts others before himself. He recently saved a boy from drowning and drowned himself. But the good lord wasn't done with him here yet, and gave him back to us. His only concern was if the little boy was okay. He is still recovering but came to our rescue anyway. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. I am so PROUD of him.
Tom helped Trav as much as he could.......By NOT taking it apart before he came to fix it. Everyday I had to tell him to wait for Trav. After he seen how complicated it was he said " good thing you made me wait." with a chuckle.
As soon as Travis left, Tom went for a ride in the woods. I knew he'd want to go alone so I asked if I could go with. He asked if I'd wait and he'd take me later but I could pick up all his tools and mess. I laughed and said sure. (There is two tool boxes and are heavy to carry.) Than just before he left he came in and said he picked up the tools. I just had to bring them in. "You gotta love this guy!" I DO!
