Reply #16: It may be me seeing something that isn't there [View All]

But he seemed younger somehow.

Somebodys son and grandkid. Something that people maybe haven't really been able to see before, because of the physical ansence of those persons that raised hm.

Or maybe it just magnified the values that those people instilled in him and reinforces that it is who he is deep down. That his words was nurtured by and are grounded in those quiet heroes.

Anyways... the sadness of this is just overwhelming. I thought it was tough enough that his mother did not get to see it.

But who knows - maybe she had seen what she needed to see. No matter the result tomorrow. Perhaps there is some beauty in that. To her the result must ultimately have been inconsequential. Her boy did good.
