Subject: RE: BS: HouseCat's Prodigal Nephew
Reminds me of the tale of the young man who left his home, angry and frustrated, cussing his parents....

After a couple years he settled down, and became very successful and a pillar of the community. He married, had a couple children, but still had an ache in his heart for his family "back home."

Unfortunately, when he'd left his father had said that he never wanted to see his son again. The words were seared in to the young man's brain, but there was still the love for his family there.

Finally, he hit upon an idea. One day his parents received a telegram stating that their son's body would arrive on a particular train.

Needless to say, the family turned up at the train station, waiting to accept the coffin. Instead, their son, his wife, and their children detrained.

A very happy reunion was enjoyed by all. And as the sone told his father, "Where my body goes I usually go too."

Congratulations. It's good to read good news these days.
