I have written
about the blind
being able to read
and receive text
messages… about
men being
stranded afloat on
the sea for months
with no food… of
people braving
harsh conditions
and inhuman
distances to be
with loved ones...
of a few struggling
for the good of the
many… I have
written of these
and so much
more… but I have
yet to write the
greatest story of
all…
