He’s Back!

In recent months you might have read a couple of posts about our Safety and Security Officer Fred, My Friend Fred and Update About Fred.

Well people…

He’s back!

While I was in the office two weeks ago, I happened to peek my head in on a meeting, hoping to get the attention of another staff member.  My attention was soon diverted as I noticed another person in the corner who resembled Fred.

I blinked again and again to make sure I was not in a dream and when I realized that it really was him, I had to wipe away the tears of joy streaming down my face.

To see him back, his eyes full of life and his smile stretching from ear to ear, I could tell just how happy he was to be back on his feet and interacting with his Volunteers. 

Throughout the day I myself could not stop smiling and counting my blessings to have Fred back.  I shared with him the blog posts I wrote about him and he kept saying how lucky he was to have a supportive group of Volunteers who care so much about saving his life.

He kept telling me how especially thankful he is to have friends, some of whom we may never get the chance to meet, who donated whatever they had to help, whether that me faith, prayers, money, or sharing his story.

From Fred, “Thank you.”

From me, “I have the best family and friends ever.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you!”
