==Zere is somthing about making croissants that takes some of zee pain and suffering away from zee accident. My wife and kids were coming home from a vacation in France, when zey flew into a storm. Zen a lightening bolt hit the plane and it went down. Zere were 32 people in zat plane, all of zem survived except my wife and kids. I was 40 years old and had never learned how to bake a croissant. Before zee accident my wife took care of zat. But after zee plane crash, I found that zee process of making zee croissants gave me some distration from my grief. I needed that.==

==Zee month after I heard of zee acciedent, I was walking home from zee grocery store when I spotted zis crowd of people surrounding zis patch of dirt. I decided to check it out. It turns out zey were working in a garden. I was not one for gardening, but I decided to give it a try. I figured it might do me some good to get out, stop hiding like a turtle in shell; get my mind on something other than always baking croissants. I went out and bought a sugar cane plant and a cinnimon plant, along with a shovel and trowel. Zis gardening is really good for me. Now instead of being huddled up in my apartment sad, I am out working with zee plants. I tried putting fresh cinnimon and sugar on my croissants and it tasted like HEAVEN! So I decided to give zem out to the others in zee garden! Everyone loved zem! And I made some new friends[Curtis, Sam, and Kim. Making croissants and gardening have been so good for me! I am no longer zee sad old man sitting in a lonely apartment.==
