Tom and the kids.

As old Kadizzle coasted downhill towards the Earth module, there was Tom, an old man in shorts and muscle shirt.  It appeared he was trying to push a bright red soccer ball into the sky. Kadizzle stopped to find out what Tom was up to.  Tom explained he was stretching and staying in shape. Tom appeared old, he was dam near 8o, yet he looked fit and very muscular.  In no time we were deep into conversation. Tom lost his teeth for lack of care, but his father died from smoking. On his deathbed Tom's father told him to quit smoking and get in shape. Tom took those words to heart. So here is Tom doing his daily routine. 

Then Tom began to tell Kadizzle about the three kids he was raising.  One of his children became addicted to drugs and the father abandoned the kids as well as the mother went to jail.  The state asked Tom if he would take the kids in.  Of course he would Tom told the state.  So here was Tom with limited means 80 years old raising a family.  We spoke for awhile, and it was really uplifting to meet this old guy with such a good attitude.  80 years old and taking all this on.  Tom had a good reason to stay in shape.  The whole thing makes you think about people doing good, and people not doing much good.
