But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten.

He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying.
