May 17th- A day off from work...you get a FREE PRETZEL!

May 17, 2017 Year 6 Day 17

FREE PRETZEL #17

Today was another perfect day to recognize a person who was nominated by a previous recipient.  Molly Horn has been one of two young college students who watch our little ones in the morning and then walk them to school.  She is also a sometime babysiter for us and a very busy college student at Rowan.  When we decided to ask people for submissions, she had a perfect one and so today was that day.  

Here is what she wrote:

My Dad, Michael Irwin, is the kindest person you will ever meet.  He would give the shirt off his back 

to anyone he sees even if he has no idea who they are.  He is always giving whatever he can to others 

and never expects anything in return.  This past January his Mother passed away unexpectedly and 

it was very hard for him.  To make matters worse 2 weeks later his Father passed away. 

My Dad was very close with his parents, especially his Father.  From February to now he has dealt with 

cleaning out his childhood home and getting it ready to sell.  He has had such a hard year but he didn't let 

that change his character at all.  Through all of the hardships he has faced within the past year he still did 

whatever he could for others to make them as happy as possible. Anyone who knows my Dad knows how 

deserving he is and that is why I feel he deserves to be apart of Tim's Free Pretzel Blog. 

Michael is so giving he wanted me in his picture too!

Our family has known the Irwins for a only a few years now, but everything that Molly says about Michael is very true.  He just gives of himself and that's awesome.  Michael grew up in Pennsauken and as we were talking we discovered that he knows a lot of the same golf coaches in the Olympic Conference that also went to Pennsauken.  Small world.  Michael happened to have the day off today from his job as a supervisor at Cooper Hospital, so it all worked out perfectly.  

It's always great to share this blog and the FREE PRETZEL with friends and just good people.  Michael even got to enjoy his pretzel on his trip to Target.  I hope it was good.  Thanks again Molly.

Until tomorrow...
