Subject: [Northkeep] Some good news...completely off topic
I know that since it rarely comes around we could all use a little good news now
and again just to remind us to keep hoping and dreaming because sometimes good
hings do happen and when they do they sort of make the rest of it all worth
hile...or at least not seem so bad.
So my good news is not really mine, it belongs to my brother Tim. Tim for any of
you who might have ever met him is a real character. A big ol'country boy who is
truly a real American red neck, farm worker, and truck driver. Tim lives in a
ingle wide trailer on a dirt road with his wife and three of his 5 kinds. Tim's
old Dodge truck can be heard for miles before you ever see the cloud of dust it
icks up as he speeds his way Dukes of Hazzard style down the dirt roads where
e lives. Tim is a good guy but from time to time his antics have put him in
ontact with the local law, this is in a way one of those times. The Linn County
Missouri Sheriff made a call on my parents trying to find where Tim lived and
hen came out to speak to him...this visit was not as a law enforcement officer
ut as the husband of an elementary teacher where my brothers sons attend
chool. According to what I was told the Sheriff's wife had mentioned Austin,
ho is my brothers oldest son. The Sheriff remembered Austin from the time he
ad to make a call out to my parents house. It had been a few years ago when the
family dog attacked Austin. The attack resulted in the loss of one of Austin's
ars. The Sheriff remembered how surprisingly gentle, sweet, and unbelievably
ood that dog actually was. The Sheriff also rememberd how sad the boys were
hat it had to be put down, but this is not about a dog. This is about Sheriff
om Parks and his conversation with my brother. Sheriff Parks is a long standing
member of a fraternal organization known for their amazing acts of charity
specially towards children. Sheriff Parks it seems had been calling fellow
embers of his order all over the State of Missouri after his talk with his
ife...in Saint Louis he had gotten the answer he was after. The Masonic
hriners of Missouri it seems have found the funds and a way for little Austin
o get his ear back. They will be taking care of it all, something that my
rother and his family would never be able to do on their own. A young boy who
s really just a great every day average kid will now be able to grow up with
ut having to face the cruelty of dealing with looking different from the other
ids. He will be able to play baseball and go to school and do all the things
ittle boys do and will no longer get picked on because he looks different
ecause he only has one ear...This is the good news I received and wanted to
hare with you.
Thank you.
Kindly
