DEL & ED
There was Del and there was Ed......
Two fellas I grew up with in Mt. Dora. One from first grade, and the other was probably in 2nd grade, because he was a year behind me!
Today, though, I am seeing the graciousness of their mothers shining through them, in their kindness to the fabulous five friends. As Del so kindly entertained us in his home,I was reminded of how he stepped in for his brother, and presided over the graveside services of his mother. That took alot of strength and character, which doesn't just happen over night. This was a trait Del was taught by his very dear mother, at an early age. This kindness touched us so very much.
Now, Ed and I go back a long way too. Our dad's were in Lion's Club together, and every time I come home, he rolls out the red carpet for me, as if I were someone special. He always makes me feel welcome, when we laugh and reminisce, about the old days!
His mother,like Del's mother,taught them this trait of common kindness, and that's what has made all the difference in these guys........
These are just two fellas I grew up with......
Neat guys.......
One's a lawyer;One's the head of the Savings & Loan.......
Long ago, God decided, that for a short time we would enjoy seeing what true,kind and gracious character looks like, when a mother chooses to teach her sons, at an early age, because they are all in the qualities of Del and Ed.......
