Welcome Home
The relationship between Giffird and Mr. McCumber was wonderful. Giffird ran to the store for the older man and did many chores around the apartment. Mr. McCumber received mail order packages from J.C. Penney on almost a daily basis. Giffird had never met anyone who did so much shopping by mail order, but he figured it was because Mr. McCumber was confined to a wheelchair. He really enjoyed helping Mr. McCumber; it was nice to feel needed by him.
When he walked through the front door, Mr. McCumber would greet him with a smile and a friendly “Welcome home.” Mr. McCumber was very interesting to listen to, and many times he gave Giffird magazines and books to read. Later, he would ask Giffird questions about the material to make sure he had read everything thoroughly.
