Life is good!

This was taken a week ago when the sun finally decided to show. Since then Joe has been reclining at the VA in West Roxbury. The doctors were perplexed that his heart passed all the tests. It's difficult to measure how big his heart is. No test can measure his love for giving to others. That's what he suffers from. His heart is unblemished by envy or greed. He is always there in times of desperate need. It pains him when he can't give as much as he wants. In tough times he suffers not for himself but for those he can't help. This is why I love my Joe. He makes me want to contribute in any way I can. No matter how small. With a smile or a hello or to hold the door open for someone. He has taugt me that it doesn't cost anything to be kind yet kindness does not mean weakness. In these difficult times we are all tested. I don't test well. Joe does. So I guess that's why we seem to always land on our feet. The yin and yang of it is what makes it interesting.
