and what this spacific story was called. It was so touching.
Broadcasted on 91.5FM in the Chicago area... Northland Story Telling channel or something like that.
It's a man telling the story. Names in the story were, Morley (wife) Brian... I can't think of the other names...
But it was a story about a middle aged married couple going on a cruise that Morley's mom gave them tickets too because she didn't feel up to going on. Morley's husband realized that its an old person cruise... Morley gets seasick and spends the whole story in the room. Her husband meets a little old man that is different than all the others. He gets the old man to bunjee jump off the side of the ship, race wheelchairs with the other elders.. and the old man shares lovely stories of his past.
When Morley and her husband return home a few months later they get a letter from a woman they dont know. In the letter she sais, "You don't know me, but you knew my father. He spoke fondly of you and all the adventures you and he had on one of his little cruise adventures. I thought he would die on one of his cruises, he loved them so much. But after meeting you, he came home. I hadn't spoke to him in years but he moved in. I'm sorry to tell you that he died last week. But he died watch extreme wrestling. You made a profound impact on his life, and I wanted to thank you."
Can anyone find me the recording of this? please please. I cry everytime I think about this story.
