“As for me: I loyally remained right where I was, remembering the very first I had ever seen the boy and then just now, the very last time-and all the times in between.

I had fulfilled my purpose.” WayFeelsFirstsEnoughMomentsLastsRememberPurposeFeltGriefBoysSecureThat MomentFulfilledLast TimeLiving My LifeSoon Enough Author:W. Bruce Cameron
