For nearly 40 years, Sam ran the corner grocery. He knew every customer by name. He loved people and they loved him. His life was full. Then he grew old and had to close the store.

He had to give up that routine a couple years ago. His worn-out knees made it impossible to get in and out of the car and up and down the stairs.
