A few weeks ago, I, too, was at Home Depot. I saw you with the teetering cart of mulch, but you looked determined and strong, so I continued on my way.

However, outside, an elderly couple, 85 if they were a day, stood at the stack of black earth. I was also getting dirt, and as the old fella contemplated lifting the sack way down low, I offered to load it for them. They gladly accepted, and we all smiled, joked and went on.
