One year Thanksgiving plans were cancelled for the Husings. "What will I do with all this food?" Tracy lamented. Everyone she called had other commitments, but the Fausts would come if they could bring a widower friend. "Absolutely!" Tracy answered.
A miracle happened the day Andrew Vespa came to dinner. A quiet, gentle, stoic old man, Andy soon found himself drawn into the Husing family circle.
"My kids need a grandpa, Andrew. Want the position?" Tracy challenged.
"What would I have to do?"
"Attend their football and baseball games. Concerts and plays as well. Of course, there's church. Second service. We'll pick you up."
For ten years Andy kept his promise. Tracy stocked his cupboards, filled his pillbox, drove him to appointments, and hid his car keys. Every Sunday "Grandpa Andy" proudly sat in the third row pew as a Husing family member. When he died at 95, the Husings thanked God for blizzards and big turkeys.
