Fog in the morning;
Even though it's cold
No money for heat
Even though he's old

So tragic, even sadder because it's true. As Ronald said in his comment...in the news just this week....a disgrace! ~ Carrie

Sad, they had a story on the news about a 93 year old they found froze to death in his own home because he couldn't pay his utilities. they said he was frostbitten and he had on 5 layers of clothes. This is America, these kind of things should not happen. Great write, Blessings, Ron
