The Day The Angels Helped - Part IV

. . . Nick returned home and thrived. The visiting nurse was also hired by Nick to do the housework. (Praise The Lord!) We did his food shopping for him and visited him regularly. During one of our evening visits he said, "We're friends, right?"
"Yeah, Nick, of course!"
"And friends don't say no, right?"
"Yeah, Nick, of course!"
"I have something for you and if you say no, we're not really friends."
"Yeah, Nick, okay (a little leery now)."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Nick handed my son an envelope. My son looked in the envelope and whispered, "Aaaa, it's loaded with money." There was no protesting, Nick was determined that we have this money for a two week trip we planned to South Dakota. We wouldn't have planned our trip if Nick still needed us. He wanted us to go and he wanted to make it special. He felt that this was something he could do for us. It was not payment for what we did, just what a friend wanted to do for another friend. He made us promise we would take his gift before we knew what it was. So, we took it reluctantly. . .and went to South Dakota. Our first day in Keystone, SD was a beautiful, clear day. You felt like you could see the whole world if you could just get high enough. An angel's view is what we needed. That's when I yelled, "Stop the car!!" . . .
