You have no idea how badly it rankles me to this day that I owe Ramona Derwin the fact that I met the woman that I love, met so many friends in this place. [There was dripping bitterness in her voice. Ramona was still, even a year later, a sore spot for her.] But you are not wrong. This kind of blessing, this gift? It may be the only kindness that she ever did any of us.

I am glad that he is here. We haven't talked much, but I am glad he can be here beside you.
