MAY 29, 23 (1/2) .. MY FALL .. MAY 27th .. THE “REST OF THE STORY”

MAY Just in case some of you have not heard of Paul Harvey, he was a famous American Newscaster.

He also had a separate program, conceived and produced by his son, where he would narrate a story to a certain point at which time there would be an advertising break. 

After the break he would say, “And Now The Rest Of The Story”. He would then continue and when finished he’d say : “And Now You Know The Rest Of The Story”. It became an absolutely fascinating, do-not-miss show to hear daily.

Now we begin The Story.

We NEVER know .. When we will meet a new friend.

This afternoon, Sunday the 28th, Patti and I took a walk over to our local Sitka Street Park where I took my bad fall yesterday.

As we two were walking into the park, a young man across the park waved at us and then enthusiastically came over to visit with us. And that is how we two met a young new friend. Just like that. You NEVER know do you?

His name is Gavyn.

Gavyn, a very likeable young man, like Patti and myself, is a Virgo. He was born on September the 9th, 2011, so he is 12 years old.

Gavyn was born in, and grew up in, Louisiana. He and his father came North to Alaska two years ago.

Like a lot of people, his father has fallen on hard times. Gavyn and his Dad are living in our local, Salvation Army, McKinnel House, an emergency shelter for Single Parents with Children, and Couples with Children.

Gavyn wanted to show us his prowess on the Sitka Street Park Climbing Rock.

So off to the Climbing Rock Gavyn dashed.

Gavyn was really pleased with himself, sharing his skills with us, his brand new friends.

And Now??

THE REST OF THE STORY

In yesterday’s Post I wrote : As we two were walking on an asphalt paved walkway, a young man, age about 12 or 13 years old, was coming our way on a skateboard. Patti stepped to one side of the paved walkway onto the grass to get out of his way and I stepped to my right but not off the walkway.

Suddenly his skateboard was under my left foot and in an instant, as I unwittingly stepped onto his skate board, my weight upon the skateboard caused it to shoot away from me.. and..

I FELL !

The young man began to profusely apologize. He and another young friend reached out to help me up and were successful. 

The young man on the skateboard was Gavyn! He felt so bad about yesterday that he came to Sitka Street Park today just hoping against hope to see Patti and me so he could again profusely apologize for causing my fall yesterday. Isn’t that something special?

This is why he was so excited when he saw us walk up and came immediately to greet us.

We NEVER know do we?

Gavyn also shed some light on what happened yesterday. As he came toward us, and passed us, his skate board immediately hit a patch of uneven concrete and caused him to fall. As he fell, his foot pushed the skateboard behind him and I unwittingly stepped upon it and DOWN I WENT.

Below is a photo of where I fell. Patti is standing where she stood as Gavyn approached us.

And? 

NOW YOU KNOW .. THE REST OF THE STORY
