(Zorba and I on my wedding day)
Yesterday Zorba (my grandpa who is Greek and likes to refer to himself as Zorba) was doing what "normal" 76 year olds do. He was running around backwards in a parking lot. Pretty soon he says he was flying through the air. He landed on his ribs and one broke. That rib punctured his lung and so to the hospital he went.
He is coming home today or tomorrow so my mom decided to have his house all clean and his jungle of a front yard mowed before he gets home. She asked me if I'd help her with the house part so this morning that is what we did.
We cleaned that sucker good and boy was it messy! Navy and Brock helped too of course.
I feel like I haven't done any service for anyone in such a long while. I have had a lot of people serve me lately....bringing dinners, watching the kids etc.etc. I am so thankful for all of my friends and family who always help me out! Today though it felt so great to serve someone else instead of the other way around. I hope that I will look for more opportunities to serve other people and do it on a regular basis.
And Zorba I hope you get to feeling better!!
