      No more than any other hard-working citizens, most of whom contribute more to their local economy in the form of tax revenue and so on. Nothing at all to look down on them for, of course, and I support my local businesses as often as I can. I'm just saying it takes all kinds for a functional society, your local industrial employee or firefighter or schoolteacher or landscaper or electrician or housekeeper is just as deserving of our respect. People seem to have forgotten that, and it's worrisome.

    I’m a small business owner, too. I completely and totally can relate to this man. I’ve been in that same spot. It was very this ice for a while Thankfully, I added an additional revenue stream to my business and it has kept the business going since. I have two contracts with a local government and I have one with a very large nation wide business. We service their repair needs. We are rated 5 stars on-line from public customers. I don’t take breaks or a lunch. For two years I only had one day off a week, the one day a week we were closed. It takes a crap tonne of dedication and grit and a lot of luck. And sometimes, intervention from an angel as in this case. Made me tear up. So happy for this man. I absolutely can relate.

    Small businesses like this keep a community going. A source of jobs, and sponsoring local teams and activities. I hope I get to Norman Oklahoma someday and can stop in for a hotdog.

      I noticed that too.😄 Pretty sure he meant to say “52-year” not “52-year-old”, with the main point being how long she’s lived in Norman, not how long she’s been alive (which I’m guessing is probably about 80 years).😊

    No this is the kind of thing that people need to hear about, uplifting and it makes you stop and think I support your local business and well I need more stories like this. If I renew a story is sad and depressing, you become disconnected. This is something different this is something uplifting give you a little bit of hope that well there are good people still

    So glad to see this follow up report! I saw the original post on couple of Veteran's FB pages/groups and sent it to military friends in OK. Being an Army Vet, I sent it to VFW and American Legion contacts there as well. Good to see the business doing well. I'm in Ohio, but, if I could, I would be there.
