didn't see a thread for this - - My oldest grandson turned 16 in Oct. Tyler is very gifted athleticly but was diagnosed as adhd way back when he was in kindergarden. Tyler has always struggled with his grades & has just the last yr & 1/2 been prevented from participating in athletics because of the prob. My daughter, his Mom, is the administrator of a business office for a 3 team Dr. office. One of the Dr.s is very aware of Tyler's prob. & with my daughter's ok put Tyler on a new adhd med. that's kind of experimental (Tyler's been on ridoin & it wierded him out so bad & really didn't solve his school problems.) Anyway, my Tyler is getting all a & b's now in school & is back in athletics. My daughter (with the help of her Dad) totally refurbished a 1995 pickup & on Christmas morning Tyler was surprised. He had no idea.

That's wonderful!! This happened a few days before Christmas. We were in a local restaurant having lunch, when an elderly lady walked in all by herself. She sat across and diagonal from us at another table. She carefully took out her napkin and placed in her lap and proceeded to look at the menu. I couldn't help but think how lonely she looked. Directly across at another table, another older couple sat finishing their meal. I saw them speak to the waitress and look over at the elderly lady. As they left, they both bent over and wished her a Merry Christmas. The waitress told Em and I that the older couple had paid for the elderly lady's meal. They didn't know her, but they wanted to do it. Just thought I would share. =)
