When I was younger and would get upset about something, whether it was an "important something" or just "me being upset about most anything", my Dad would always ask me the same question. He'd ask, "Boy, what was making your life miserable on this day last year?" I'd always have to respond with, "I don't know, why?"... After a couple of times hearing that question, it dawned on me what he was really saying.....
I'd suppose, if you ask the gentleman in the wheelchair in post #1 what he was worried about this date last year, he'd likely respond with, "Making sure my friends here have their treat and that we share these few minutes together."... We all need a "kinder and gentler soul" in our lives. I'd suspect about now, my Dad would suggest trying to be that person for someone we care about....
