Slightly (OT) Got To Help An Eagle Fan

[musicman]

Had a pretty cool experience today and it helped me to help someone else. I work for Pennsy Supply here in south central PA. Today I was tasked with removing a rough brick sidewalk that connected to a narrow concrete sidewalk that we needed to widen to make it accessible for a wheelchair .Arrived to find an Eagle banner hanging on the front porch and while looking at the back of the house saw Eagle wallpaper and border in the room in the basement where this 42 year old gentleman lives.We quickly removed the bricks, dug and removed the soil and added blacktop ,backfilled the topsoil to match the blacktop and moved on down the road to our next job.
A while later I started to receive thank you texts , the family and the 42 year old with only the use of his right hand was THRILLED because he can now on his own, exit his house,navigate the new sidewalk and go out into the neighborhood . To be so happy to be able to go 100 feet for the first time puts things into perspective.Pretty cool day guys.2 hours of work to bring joy to a fellow Birds fan. AWESOME,I hope I get the chance to have more of these days.

Nice work! As I get older, I become more aware at blessings that I used to take for granted... But a reminder like this is always appreciated.

Nice to get rewards like that for your work!

Great work mm! It's always nice to have reminders of how lucky we are. I know I'm guilty of bitching about stupid stuff that shouldn't ever be a concern. When you hear of someone who is happy just to be able to leave their home and go outside it puts things into perspective for you! Thanks for the reminder!

Having a wife with MS I know the difficulties some people face in their daily lives. It taught me to help whenever you can so good job mm. I also like when sports teams, players, etc make a little effort to make someone feel good when they need it. It doesn't cost them much but the return is phenomenal.

MM,

You did a nice thing and made a difference in someone's life. In this fella's case, a very important difference. It gets my attention and moves me when I see a person treasure something I take for granted.

So I'm thinking he also did something for you. When someone's life circumstances or actions reminds us of how very fortunate most of us really are, I see that as a gift also to be treasured.
