Meeting Walter

The following Sunday, I drove to a small white house at the edge of town.

That’s where I met Walter Harrison.

He was eighty-seven years old, blind, and a veteran who had spent much of his life serving others.

When he opened the door, he smiled warmly.

« You must be Emily. »

His voice instantly reminded me of my grandfather.

Kind.

Gentle.
