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
