I thought it was going to end with you telling us the kid turned out to be someone we all know well. But maybe it's just as well. Could be anyone. Anywhere. Thanks for sharing this Jimmy!! love, NK
Reminded me of Portia's "The Quality of mercy is not strained...it droppeth as the gentle rains of heaven upon the place beneath...it is twice blessed. It blesseth him that gives - and him that receives." I had not thought of this quote which I learned almost sixty years ago until I read your story this morning. What a great reminder, esp in this emotionally challenging time. Thank you!
