    "We were rich, even if we were poor" -- something not to be overlooked. The generosity of spirit when faced with such unacceptable circumstances is remarkable and all too rare. Thank you for the inspiration

    I love how this man with his family gave Edith a chance to feel loved even when she could not show that response back. They just kept loving her and building in their children the love and respect for seniors and neighbors.
