Beautiful story, and you told it beautifully, too. You are a gifted writer! I'm sorry for any confusion. I didn't write this. I read this blog post and thought it was too good not to share. Reading comprehension is a good thing! Thanks for clearing up the confusion, and thanks for posting this beautiful story! |

Such a beautiful story, but it made my heart hurt.  I can just imagine her family telling her it would be an easy trip on Marta, and it may be easy for them - not so much for an elderly person who has never used the system before. Why are some people so oblivious and thoughtless? |

I'm in tears. Kindness and a little love go a long way. And you never know what's going to happen in the course of a day, and you never know what other people are going through. And - damn, you, jenjie, you made me cry again!!!! every time you post!!!  |
