Title: Wes (flintlock) brought tears to my eyes
Post by: mnturkey on February 22, 2013, 10:04:41 AM
I had just got home from a work trip to Iowa, I did a few chores and got the mail, there was a mailing tube in the mail
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/mnturkey/IMG_6181_zps70a155b1.jpg)
The tube was opened

The young black lab put his nose into the tube and smelled something
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc202/mnturkey/IMG_6183_zps048338e1.jpg)
I opened the rolled up paper and started to choke up there before my eyes was a picture of my granddaughter and the old yellow lab I had to put down a few weeks ago.

I was home alone at that time and was just speechless, when my wife got home she was just as astounded.
What a great gift from a great man.
This also hapened to be my granddaughter's 10th birthday.
Thank-you Wes, this is going to get framed and have a honored place in my home.
