My Only Son Donated a Kidney to a 5-Year-Old Girl. After He Died From Complications, Her Mother Came to My Door and Whispered, “He Never Told You the Real Reason Why He Saved Her, Did He?”
Doctors were a country he would not visit unless dragged.
I thought time would soften the border.
Time only taught him to drive around it.
He chose work that kept him in offices.
He dated carefully and left before anyone needed him in a waiting room.
I called it independence.
