Sad Story with a Dream Come True Ending by Maggie (a pilgrim)
It was just like any other morning. Waking up early not knowing what Wonder Voyage had in store for us to do. We reached the work site a bit wary of what we had to prepare for. Just after emerging from our van, we learned about the owner of the house we would be working on. His story has a fairy tale ending.
When Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana many people were stranded in their own homes. This man was no exception. Unfortunately, in the process of trying to survive he broke his leg. The lack of medical assistance allowed for infection to set in. He lost the use of his leg, and he was taken to a nursing home to recover. While there he fell in love for the first time; and he was married for the first time at the age of sixty plus years. What makes it more
ronantic is that they were married on Valentines Day. His desire is to bring his new wife to a newly rebuilt home. We were there to help fulfill that dream, and that made this experience so worthwhile.
