I challenge you.

I recently got my first job at a McDonalds. And where I work, there's this incredibly sweet, 60 something, year old lady who keeps the Playground clean. The only reason she's still working is because of the kids, she loves them.

Anyways, tonight she told me this story about herself, back when she was 26, and in love with a man, whom she'd been in a relationship with for about three years, who just so happened to be in the Armed Forces. At the time, we had no wars going on. So it wasn't a big deal for him to be in the army. They had all sorts of wonderful plans about what they were going to do, which included living in Germany for a year, having kids, etc. They were engaged to be married.

Well, somehow something got mixed up and her lover got sent off to Germany for whatever reason. But like I said, there wasn't really a war so it was no biggie. They continued with their wedding plans as he was soon to return.

One day he sat down and wrote her this letter, expressing his love for her in the best way words could, he then went to the post office and mailed it to her. A few days later, this same soldier was just walking down the street when, all of a sudden, a kid with a car ran right in to him. Paralyzing him instantly. His parents got a call and were flown out to Germany immediately. The Doctors said he wouldn't survive.

Now on this very same day, the sweet old lady had just received the letter he wrote her a few days ago, shortly there after she heard awful news.

The soldier, somehow, miraculously survived. They took him back to the states and put him in to one of the best hospitals money could afford. The sweet old lady, who was at the time very young and very much in love, stayed by his side, trying to nurse him back to health so they could be wed. She didn't care if he'd never walk or talk again. She did this for three years, attending to his every need. Even though, at times, he'd have no idea who the hell she was as he slipped in and out of consciousness. Until finally, he went in to a coma.

The loving lady, looked at the boy's father, with tears in her eyes, as she placed the engagement ring of the one with whom she was to have been wed in his fathers hands, and said: "He gave me three great years, and I gave him three". She then walked out, and never looked back.

To this day, she still gets all choked up just thinking about him, and what might have been.

My point in writing all this is, as the title says, to challenge you. I challenge you to be half the man that, that young soldier was. To make a difference in this world and in your community. Shut off the dang game your currently playing, get your butt up and go outside and do something worthwhile with your life. That's what I'll be doing, you should join me.

Peace

How did he do something great? Joined military, fell in love, moved away because of military, wrote a love letter. People do that all the time :wink:

If you want to do something great and good for people, join the peace corp or a humanitarian aid organization.

I think the moral of the story is lost on me. You need a better story if you want to motivate people.
