Randy,
Wanted to let you know that we had a great time yesterday with Kenny and the whole family!
Realized something also. Kenny's mother said something to me that really got me thinking, she said, "Kenny is really taking this well, he is laughing and joking, and I'm crying.".................
We had been so wound up with helping Kenny that no thought had gone into the needs of the family. This is as hard on the family as it is on Kenny. Food for thought.
Anyway, took Kenny, his wife, sister and brother-in-law for a good hour long cruise. The weather was great and we didn't misbehave too much
Did I say that we had a great time
When we returned more of the family had shown up and we were able to take Mom, Dad, In-laws and Grannie for rides
Oh, and what really made it great is that they all thought that we had Cobra Mustangs! What a shock they got when we came rumbling into the neighborhood
Many thanks also to the Houston bunch that showed up to help with the cruise. We had 7 cars and and 10 wonderful cobra nuts particapating. Each and every one has special and unique gifts that makes them special. I have to acknowledge one in particular.
As soon as we had shut the cars down, he was at Kenny's side talking with him, making phyical contact and befriending Kenny. He took Kenny to each car, letting him feel them and explained in detail about the cars. And after that, he never left Kenny's side.
Found out later that this gentleman had Polio as a teen and had lost his sight for a while. Luckily, his sight returned. But he knew first hand what it was like to be blind. Touches the heart.........
We took plenty of pics and will get them posted as soon as we can. As luck would have it, my computer at home became infected with a virus Saturday
I'm working on getting that resolved and then will post.
Thanks for bringing this opportunity to us. I don't know who got more out of this, us or them.
Kelly
