Farkle, Papa and Nana. The Good Old Days! ;(

This is a good but sad memory. One of the last times we played farkle together before dad passed away. It was at one of our visits to the University Pulmonary ward but a check up. The miracle was we had a long wait and we were bored. I decided to check out the tiniest pharmacy you have ever seen but what two games did they sell. Cards and FARKLE. so I bought the game, the pharmacist gave me some receipt paper to keep score. then as we are playing the game an older lady comes and says, "You guys look like you are having so much fun. Can I watch you for a bit til my ride gets here? Sure, we proclaimed.After what seemed a long wait we had taught her how to play and it was almost time for dads appointment. The elderly lady said, " I bet my senior home would like this game." I looked at dad and mom and looked at the lady and dad said,"Here have this one on us. We have many farkle versions at home." She smiled a huge grin and said, "I wish I knew more people like you. We did have a great conversation with her. She made our day and we made hers.  Thank you God at that time there was still time for dad to bring his Kindness to others. It was a sweet spot of a memory in what seemed a dark time...
