Tony
I know a man named Tony he's very old and mostly alone.
He never had no children never had a wife .
Although he had a mother he loved dearly and spent most his life caring for her.
And when her life ended and thought his would begin he became very ill.
Yet he fights to go on ,He tells us stories of his younger days and all about his job.
He was a teacher of wood working and still try's at times to teach what he knows.
The moment we first met him I knew he was special and he really liked me.
He likes me even more now loves my cookies I bake and the flowers I grow.
He says I remind him of his mother and in a way it's like she still lives here.
He grew up in this home where we now live I try to keep it nice for him .
Not long ago he was in the hospital for about a month I felt lost without him.
He's so weak and tired of going on he said as my eyes started to tear.
I tried to hide them but they fell any way ,When he said he had nothing to live for and why go on.
He takes these treatments 3 times a week for he has no kidneys ,He can't hardly eat anything or even drink .
I have talked to him about God I'm scared he will go without knowing him.
Before we left we cheered him up and he had seen my tears he acted surprised I cared.
I gave him a big hug and told him if he needed anything just give us a call .
He seems so much like a father to me and he's done many sweet things .
And he always treats me with much respect he's the best land lord we have had yet.
Please keep him in your prayers that he will give his heart to God before it's to late.
