Burt is Retiring:(

Burt, our dear UPS man, is retiring after 25 years of service. I hate to admit that I don't even know his last name. But, today when he told me of his news, I thought I might cry. Burt is a kind soul and will be dearly missed. A constant and ever-steady present at our home (especially when Jason goes on his ebay binges). Burt was always in a speedy hurry, but was never in too much of hurry that he didn't have time to get to know the people on his route. When we had Katie, our dog, he always brought her treats and knew her by name. Burt said it was so she wouldn't bite him, but I know different! Funny how you don't realize until someone isn't there, just how much they meant to you. Today I was reminded of how a few kind words and a smile go a long way. We will miss you, Mr. Burt!
