Don’t Lose Out!

Our friend Minor is a cardiologist.


He’s also a retired cardiologist, but retirement doesn’t mean he does nothing. 

Minor volunteers his time at clinics, travels to amazing countries, teaches, golfs, and is very devoted to his family and very giving to others. 

He’s figured out that failing to do for others means losing out on many of life’s blessings!

Part of giving also means not always expecting something in return.   

For several weeks now he’s helped our family out when we were in a pinch for time.  Abby needed a ride to her violin lesson.  We called Minor and he was right there for us.  He really digs our kids and loves their different personalities.

And, this time he brought a gift for Abby, wrapped up with a special note.


Minor knits and he’s kept us well supplied with knitted dishrags.  It was so thoughtful that he made one for my daughter, who is a great helper in the kitchen!  Her own personal dishrag!

I love crossing the multigenerational lines, by our kids being involved with our retired friends. 

They have so much to give.  And we have so much to learn.

(Top photo:  Abby playing her violin last summer on our back patio, with Minor as her “page-turner.”  Our friend Dee has helped us out too, and she also supplies us with knitted dishrags  - the two must go hand-in-hand!)  


Oh, and guess where this special “note” is going?
 
Yes!  In Abby’s book!
