It was from his long lost brother whom Mr. R had not seen since they were separated as children in Austria. His brother had tracked him down and they began talking regularly by phone. As much as his brother wanted to come and visit, he couldn’t afford it. Determined to see his brother, Mr. R. decided to try his luck on the Video Lottery Terminal in an effort to raise the necessary funds. It worked! Mr. R. won the money he needed to bring his brother over for a visit. Naturally, they were elated to be reunited after all those years.
A Wish to Ride a Horse

As luck would have it, our recreational therapist was an avid horse person. With the help of some friends, brought a gentle horse to our home. At the age of 103, Mrs. T. got her wish and got up on a horse and went for a ride. Mrs. T. passed away about a year later at the age of 104 but she had fulfilled her wish for riding a horse.
