I’m getting pre-empted by Husker Volleyball tomorrow, so there isn’t a Friday Feel Good Feature. I had this inspiring story I wanted to share this week, so I’ll share it tonight. It’s about neighbors who made a big difference in a life and didn’t even know they were doing it.
Neiva Fett or Madison, Wisconsin had back surgery which affected her mobility. Doctors told her that she had to get out and walk every day to strengthen her back. It wasn’t easy, but she found inspiration in her neighbors’ lawn……… where they post dad jokes every day.
Back when the pandemic started getting into full swing, they began posting note cards with dad jokes on them to lift people’s spirits.
And now, Neiva makes sure she goes for a walk every day just to see the joke. She mentioned how she didn’t want to walk some days because of the weather or she was sore, but then she would think to herself, “If I don’t go, I’ll miss the joke of the day”. And because of that, she’s regaining her strength and on the way to a recovery.
There’s a news video at this link where Neiva and the neighbors talk about it.
