MARGATE, FL -

An elderly South Florida man, we’ll call Jack, has always been a very sweet and caring man. For his entire marriage, Jack has always taken the best possible care he could of his beloved wife, who we’ll call Margaret. On this particular Tuesday in southeast Florida it was raining pretty hard. Jack, being the caring husband that he he is, decided he would back the car as close to the house as possible so Margaret did not have to get wet. After backing the car into place he waited for a few minutes. When Margaret didn’t enter the car Jack went back into the house to find her. Jack was inside looking for several minutes with no success.

Jack had no idea where his wife had gone until a neighbor found Margaret stuck underneath the car. Jack had backed over her and she was pinned beneath it. Firefighters showed up and had to use airbags to lift the car off of her. The good news: she was expected to make a full recovery.

The moral of the story: It REALLY is the thought that counts.
