A travel agent noticed an elderly couple outside his shop, gazing longingly at dream vacation posters. They looked sweet, a little heartbroken. Feeling generous after a good week, he rushed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen,\u201d he said, \u201cI know travel isn\u2019t easy on a pension, but I want to treat you both to a luxury vacation\u2014my treat. No strings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shocked but thrilled, they accepted. He had his assistant book plane tickets and a five-star resort.<\/p>\n
A month later, the little lady returned, smiling. \u201cHow was the trip?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, lovely! The flight, the hotel\u2014it was a dream. I came to thank you\u2026 but I have one question.\u201d<\/p>\n
The agent raised an eyebrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho was that old man I had to share the room with?\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n
LOL! They had shared everything in life\u2014except one secret. Edna had a shoebox she told Harold never to open. Decades later, when she grew gravely ill, Harold asked, \u201cMay I see it before you go?\u201d<\/p>\n
Inside were two crocheted dolls\u2014and $95,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cEdna, what is this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore we married, my grandmother told me to crochet a doll every time I got mad at you,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
Harold\u2019s eyes filled with tears. Only two dolls in sixty years.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the money?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh,\u201d Edna smiled, \u201cthat\u2019s from selling all the others.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
