My father-in-law is not a big fan of dogs. However, this one stray dog would walk up every time my father-in-law would get home from the grocery store.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The dog would just wag his tail and smile at him.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over time, my father-in-law\u2019s heart softened toward this stray and kind dog. He would even buy a little bread and feed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every now and then, when the dog would not walk up when he got back from the store, all he had to do was whistle. The dog would come running, wagging his tail and smiling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, the dog did not show. My father-in-law whistled. No dog.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

You could see anguish come over his face. A concern was building\u2026but then the dog showed. And all was right with the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

How does this relate to retirement? Finances?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n
