Little Angels

Ace and I have just come back from the bank with 2 separate checks. I don’t think I’ve ever held this much money in my hands, and I can’t wait for the good that it will do.

“Are you ready to do this?” He asks excitedly.

“Born ready.”

At the hospital, we tell the front desk lady, that we want to donate, and with a sweet smile, she leads us to the donations office.

“Sarah is the head of donations and she will be right with you, just take a seat, I’ll go get her.”

Sarah was my mother’s name. God how I wish she was here with me, and how I wish she could have met the love of my life.

“Thank you, ma’am.” Ace says as we sit down in her comfy office chairs. I hold his hand in mine and he squeezes it.

“Why donate now Ace?” I ask him curiously.

“Because you make me wanna be a better human, and because I realized I’m not the only person who has had to fight in a certain type of war, and they have to do it as kids? That’s not fair. I know from experience.”
