There is always a way…

This was passed along to me by a dear friend. I just could not resist sharing it, as the lesson is enormous. Hope you enjoy!!!

An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son explaining his predicament.

Dear Vincent, I’m feeling really sad cause it doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to plant the tomato garden this year. It’s too hard, and I’m getting to old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the garden for me, like the old days. Love Papa.

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Papa, Don’t dig up the garden, that’s where the bodies are buried. Love Vinnie.

At 4am the next morning FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. The same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant your tomatoes now. It was the best I could do under the circumstances. Love Vinnie.
