Lives lived well and how they chose. Especially love Bobby’s $100 tip.

Thank you for posting. I’m richer for having read it.

this was NOT the case. I couldn't stop reading. What a wonderful story. What wonderful people. I love them and I have never met them.
Thank you for sharing.

That left Lucia and Louise together until Lucia passed in 1969 at age 84. Louise went passed in 1975, age unknown.

I wonder if Bobby ever met his biological father or had a relationship with him.

The picture of Leslie and her son Bobby is beautiful and haunting. I can see why it haunts Mr. Miller
