Tiffany: I'm sorry to hear about your Step Father. Yes, it is a wonderful service, and I've been doing it for many years, usually on our church's schedule one day a month. Nancy Middleton (Keller Williams Premier Realty, Lake Minnetonka Center, Wayzata, MN)
Wow, I would be SHOCKED to find someone in that condition. That man was very lucky to have you enter the home and save his life!
Thanks for your comments, Joan. I did feel good about what I did. That happened on 4-14-10. Today, two years later, I once again did my Meals on Wheels service and found a couple not home when I went to deliver their meals. The doors were locked and two barking dogs were inside. I got nervous and called the granddaughter whose name was on the card. She told me they had taken her grandmother to the hospital this morning. You never know what you will find (or not find) in the homes of the elderly as well as many others.

Nancy Middleton he was lucky to have you find him- I can't imagine a loved one being stranded like that. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Nancy, That is great you were there and I think it is wonderful what you are doing with Meals on Wheels. We had a similar situation last year with my Step Father, but it was too late he would have been 80. I miss him dearly!
