Story of an Old Man

An old man
lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was
very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:
Dear Son, I'm feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to
plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden ,
because your mom always loved planting time. I 'm just getting too old to
be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would dig
the plot for me, if your weren't in prison.
.............................................. Love, Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake, Dad,
don't dig up the garden !! That's where i buried the GUNS !! At 4 am the
next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police showed up and dug up the
entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote
another note to his son telling him what happened. and asked him what to
do next. His son's reply was:" Go ahead and plant your potatoes,
Dad................it's the best I could do for you from
here".
Moral : No
matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to so something
deep from your heart, you can do it . It is the thought that maters not
where you are or where the person is.
