"I smiled, put the lamb curry in front of her, and instructed her granddaughter on how much time to heat it up in the microwave.
Val wasn’t in a condition where she could have a long conversation with me, but she knew exactly what was going on. I saw her eyes smile for a moment, tearing through the pain otherwise displayed all over her face. She didn’t say much, but just enough when she said, “God bless you.”
