My wife and were not poor at the time, and could have easily afforded the meal, but I’ll never forget how proud of my children that couple’s act o... kindness made me. In the couple of decades since then, whenever I am in a restaurant, I have tried to keep an eye out for a young family with well-behaved children seated nearby, so that I can pay their bill, thus paying forward that ‘elderly’ couple’s kindness so many years ago, but, sadly, I have yet to spot such a family. Maybe some day! This. Not for him, not for our fans, not for our families and girlfriends, but we were each playing for our teammates and for the team. We agreed before the first game that we wouldn’t let the team down, that we’d give every ounce of our energy and every beat of our heart to winning a game when we took the field.Coach Clark spoke and told us that this would be the last home game for a while. The next three games would be on the road and in front of our opponents local fans. We needed this game to get. The gentleman I spoke to knew Cheryl from the restaurant she used to work at and was eager to help. They put thirty-two hundred on my card, and processed her work order as just the timing chain without the camshaft breaking and ruining the engine. Allowing for a thirty-dollar refund for that legit illusion, that did it. Her eight hundred dollars down covered it. He told me he’d take it to her today as a favor, no charge, but thanked me for the offer. He told me, “I’ll be honest with you, lady.. The snake that wound its way into my land and stole everything. Burnt our villages and killed my people. Enslaved the remaining few. I will never forget the sight. A long, black line of my kin, stretching as far as my eyes could see. Heading away. Across the hills and into exile. Not a living soul remaining beside me. She was among them then. Ravaged and beaten, but proud. My princess. My love. I am the prince of ash and blood.Stupefied I fall to the ground as an arrow suddenly protrudes from.
