Brighten Your Day

In 2000, my parents were still alive and while I was visiting I told my mom I wanted to rent a Santa Suit but I needed a yellow pages to find a Costume Shop in Sacramento. She gave me the yellow pages and I found B-BOPS COSTUMES on 19th & L St so I called and this man answered and I asked if he had a Santa Suit for rent he told me yes it is $50 bucks and I have one left. I told him I would be there in one hour and a half.

When I got there it is a very large Victorian House with feathers and manikins in the front. There was a man about 68 yrs old and I said I am the one that called about the Santa Suit he said o.k. it is $50 for the suit and $100 Deposit. I said oh I don't have $100 for deposit I only have the $50 for the suit. He said "Mam, I don't know you and I need a security for my suit. I told him "Sir" the only thing I have to give you for the security is "A JAR OF HOMEMADE PICKLES" he gasped was looking out the 2 story window and tears started to well up in his eyes and he started crying and I said, "SIR WHAT IS WRONG?" He said "Well I would never tell a customer this but 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer and given 6 months to live and last week I told my partner I would give anything for a "JAR OF HOMEMADE PICKLES."

I stood there staring at him and the hairs on my arms stood up and I said, "GOD HAS SENT ME HERE TODAY" he shook his head yes. I went and got the pickles and then before I left I turned to him and said, "May I ask you a personal question?" He said yes I said, "Is your Cancer TUMORS or has it metastasized? He said it is TUMORS. I said, "I feel I need to share this with you if you ingest SHARKS CARTILEGE IT CHOKES OFF BLOOD SUPPLY TO TUMORS AND HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO DIE OFF.
