A Minnesota couple decided to vacation to Florida during the winter.
They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules.
So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday. His wife would fly down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.
Meanwhile.....somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral.
He was a minister of many years who was called home to glory following a sudden heart attack.
The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends.
After reading the first message, she fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: 16 May 2013
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones.
I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is not as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!
Just for fun, here's a pic I took of the Harvest Moon setting over the Rockies in the morning.
This was shortly after helping out with clean up after the floods in Colorado with even more to do.
Thankfully, I was in an area unaffected but we couldn't drive two miles without being affected or wanting to help.
That additional 4.something million must've been downloading when I tried to show the video to my wife...that little timing wheel
just spun and spun until finally I got an error message saying "unable to play (or something like that) at this time." wow! Funny though!

No surprise.....if you read internet comments, you'll find even the heart-warming stories and the stories of people helping others get a thumbs down,
not to mention the vulgarity of many of the comments. Thankfully, most sites filter out the garbage, YouTube doesn't.
Vrede wrote: . . . I did read a few comments worried about it possibly causing heart attacks. So, at least some of the dislikes are out of an overabundance of compassion, not meanness. Personally, I wouldn't mind that much if my headstone read, "Scared to death by a really good Halloween prank". There are worse ways to go.
I don't want my headstone to read, "Scared to death by a really good Halloween prank because he was so damn stupid as to believe in telekinesis."
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.
