Elvis Presly of Elvis graceland has been spotted at hamburger joints just about all over the U.S. Lately he has been seen in different parts of the world. Elvis Presly of graceland was spotted in Russia at a sidewalk cafe. Seems Elvis of graceland has learned how to use the internet!
The more I study the life of Elvis Presly the more I learn about what an amazing and generous man he was. It was Christmas time and in the local paper there was a short article about an old woman in North Memphis, it was near the area where Elvis Presly lived while he was growing up. The old woman had been confined to a wheelchair all her life. Her old wheelchair had become worse from age, she wasn't able to use it anymore and left her unable to move around her home.
When Elvis Presly read the article he turned to Marty Lacker and said, "Moon, take care of it for me. Get her a new chair." After getting the elderly woman's address Marty made a call to a hospital supply company in Memphis where Marty and one of the other guys found a really nice electric, automatic wheelchair and bought it, put it in the trunk of the car and went back to Elvis Graceland to show Elvis Presly the chair before they delivered it to the old woman.
When they got to Elvis Graceland, Elvis and Priscilla were dressed to go out. Marty asked Elvis Presly if he wanted to see the wheelchair before taking to the woman, Elvis answered "Priscilla and I are both going with you”. Elvis, Priscilla and Marty got into one car and two of the guys followed in a second car, using the second car was normal procedure for security or in case anything happened to the car Elvis Presly was traveling in. Marty went to the door making sure they were at the right address. It was a shock to see what these people lived in, he noticed the newspapers, which were there to try and stop the wind from coming in the windows, there was an old wood stove in the middle of the floor.
Then Marty saw the old woman sitting on a wooden chair in the other room, he then told the man he would be right back. Elvis Presly carried the chair into the house, with Priscilla, Marty and the others following. Elvis went to the lady and said, "Hello, I came to give you this chair as a gift for Christmas". The dear old woman didn't understand why this white man was in her home giving her a new wheelchair. She kept looking at the chair and Elvis while he explained and showed her how it should be operated. Suddenly she seemed to understand this wheelchair is truly a gift to her, then she tried her hardest to get off the wooden chair to her new chair wheelchair, but she struggled and was unable to do so. Elvis Presly then gently picked her up and carefully placed her in her new chair.
As her tears began flowing from her old eyes she cried, "God bless you!" The moment was filled with genuine emotions, with Elvis Presly on one side and Priscilla on the other, sharing this happy sadness moment with the old lady. The general feeling that surfaced from this special visit was the love felt for the elderly couple, Priscilla and all that were present, but most of all they truly loved Elvis Presly and the sincerity with which he gave his true gift. Elvis then placed two one-hundred dollar notes in the old woman's hand wishing her a Merry Christmas. Elvis gently kissed her, then turned and walked out.
