Thank you for this tender story. You have this amazing ability to stop, look and listen and describe who and what have become invisible. Is it that I am too busy driving by or not wanting to see? The world would be a much kinder place if we all had your microscopic viewpoint.

Margo,

You painted a picture of this man! I can see him, especially his raised arms and fingers.

This was my lovely read first thing this morning. 🌹

It takes a good heart and a bright mind to "see" people in this special way.
