Today I begin interviewing an African-American man who gives himself away. He teaches people to fly big radio-controlled planes. He says he was married to the greatest wife in the world…until she died six years ago. His daddy died in the 1970s, his momma died two years ago. He retired early to take care of her for 12 years. I said it must have been very hard to care for a mother with Alzheimer’s Disease, losing her a little more each month. He doesn’t see it that way at all. He says it was a blessing to return a small part of the favor she had done him during his lifetime. He said, “I look at it as returning a dime on the dollar she gave me.”
Tim is one of many interesting men and women I introduce to people who would otherwise never know them. Tim’s Toys will be a two- or three-part feature series teaching Spanish and wholesome values to students who have been through the first two batches of our video lessons. Students will be glad to meet Tim.
