Read His Story

John Barros

I was on my way to tell my five year old cousin that her father was dead, shot in a bungled robbery. What could I say? How could I say it? As she ran to me with the card she made for her Dad, on his birthday, I was alone and adrift as I bent down to hug her and pick her up in my arms. Her love that filled those innocent eyes gave me the strength I needed. She Uncornered me.
