The morning of a lifetime
Kyle knew the world held much more beauty than what could be seen with the naked eye. He believed there was more to life than the get-up-and-go, 9-5, competing with the Jones’s, social media driven, 9-5 consumerism, corporate America that he had come to accustomed to. As Kyle sat on the wooden park bench on a cold February morning, he reflected on the daily news reports that highlighted crime, war, fear mongering and everything in between. He remembered the conversation he had with his nephew, Alex, who had been diagnosed with stage 2 cancer. “I wish I was never born because Mommy wouldn’t have to worry me”. Kyle’s sister, Allison, is a single mother who has been struggling financially with the cost of Alex’s treatments. Kyle sat frozen in the reality of how his lovable, cheerful nephew had become solemn and reclusive over the past several months, not knowing if he his mom would be able to continue to afford treatment for him.
