    He left a sizeable amount of cash, a truck, his house, and his personal belongings in the house, but the last item on the list was the most priceless of all…one chrome fifty pound powerlifting bar.

    too long did not read................ but i thought those olympic bench press bars were 45 lbs?

    I had a chrome bar when i was a kid.... well, 16, that a kid? feels like it now :-/ anyway pretty sure I weighted it one time and it was 45 lbs

    Moving for sure.....nothing really would be able to explain how intense this was to read!

    I appreciate you sharing this.

    It is a good reminder for all of us to be compassionate and understanding at all times. We have no idea what others have been through or are dealing with.

    Some of the most beautiful people that I have had the joy to know are people like Craig.

    Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder!

    This is a beautiful story, thank you for sharing ironanimal. It reminds us that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and compassion. A person shoud never be judged on their outward appearance. Judging is only for God, not people!! All people are created equal and remain so, until their time on earth is up!

    Just so everyone knows.

    This is a fictional story, written by a guy who goes by "ajdos" on the PM forums.

    Good to see it taking off. This guy is not just a good writer, but a pretty smart, experienced, and kind guy on the forums over there.
