Oh, this is such a sweet story, zizi - the best stories always have a happy ending.

And what perfect timing for Dr L to call and share his gratitude for your husband's kindness and generosity all those years ago - especially at such a difficult time when your husband is so unwell and you're doing the heavy lifting.

Thank you for sharing your precious, 'unexpected' story with us for the prompt. xoxo
