Just read this..

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 am 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 mother 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 be
over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you
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 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and
local police officers
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 DO
SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS
THE THOUGHT THAT
MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS.
