I woke up on Saturday and headed to the store. We wanted to eat in for at least breakfast, so I went to purchase things. Prices were so crazy, $40 of groceries here cost $96 down there. The one thing I will not forget about the trip was Lucy. She was this little old lady in her 70's or 80's. I don't have a problem with the older generation working-if it is done from a social aspect, but I can't stand it when it is a necessity for them to live. So Lucy says that she is taking my groceries out to my car, I tell her that she doesn't need to do that-she responds "It's my job, I guess it is my penitence from sinning". As we head to the car she explains that she and her husband moved to Florida 15 years ago (from New York), he passed away a few years ago-but she is still stuck in Florida. She cant afford to make it back to New York. Did you know that SSN only pays you one check when someone dies, the larger check-but only one. Before I knew it I gave her money and walked back to my car. Then I heard her voice and she was walking towards me and she is crying. All I hear is God Bless you, and I think to myself 'He already has, I just saw Him in Lucy's eye's'. My heart broke for Lucy, and I still wonder whats going on with her.
There are hundreds maybe thousands who go to Orlando for Vacation. Some people a
re so stressed out that don't seem to be enjoying themselves. To my right is one lady know as "GD Lady" who needs to take a vacation without her children. She made her crying son go to the shallow area to swim, he of course wanted to go into the deep end. Then she has her daughter swim in the deep end. The kids are in the water less than 5 min, before she yells "GD we are out of here, I cant watch you both on opposite ends of the pool". This was not her first time saying "GD", but I got a good picture of her in her prime. There were plenty of other "stressed" parents showing their true colors, but 'GD' really stood out.
