Silvia entered the restaurant limping. She had come with her daughter for a special meal but after years of chronic pain in her hip, even the short walk from the car to the restaurant was unbearable. The restaurant owner, Danny, immediately realised that she was struggling and helped her to the table. He asked if there was anything he could do to help, but she explained that there was nothing that could be done as this was the pain she has been living with for a long time.

Yet another great essay, Tom. It really is a bit mysterious how hesitant, sometimes even embarrassed, we tend to be when it comes to talking about love. Hell, even using the word! I applaud you doing so here and elsewhere. That was a great story! Thank you for your courage... sad though it is that speaking of love requires courage!
Love and hugs to you Tom.
