Touching story.I loved it! I hope they had breakfast together before they left. There are still people out there who truly see others and care and get involved.

Thanks, Tina, and yes, despite dour news stories and endless negativity and gloomy prognostications, there are still good people in the world. And their good deeds comfort, inspire, reassure, and even change lives.

Thanks, Brenda. Sometimes open ended stories have more impact. The reader gets to imagine what comes next.

I imagine that most people are much too tired to do much of anything but to take a rest after eating and fall asleep thereafter
