UPDATE on my story about The Boy Who ? Over the last week I have been doing a clean sweep. I have met some nice people and I feel a sense of renewal. I wasnt planning on sharing an encounter I had last weekend with the young man that accompanied the boy that wanted to find work and then victomized my mother-n -law. I felt in some way he let us all down. He gave us a moment of belief in something good. Then he turned it around and insured us that our belief was right, to not trust. I decided today that I needed to acknowledge that the other young man came to my home last Saturday afternoon. I was outside in my front yard putting things out to give away during my clean sweep. He started to walk towards me and at first I felt uncomfortable with him approaching me. I stood my ground and prepared myself for what ever may come. I looked to his face and there in his eyes was a look of remorse. That is the thing we look for in anyone that treats us badly. We want that from our family, our friends and our nieghbours to first feel sorry for thier actions. The second thing we expect is an apology. This young man had came to me to do exactly that. He apologized, he even explained to me his part in the robbery and what charge he is facing. Some people may say I am a fool for even letting him near my property let alone speaking to him. Well anyone can say what they like about how I handle my life because after all it my choice. I choose to believe him. We are all given a opportunity at some point in our lives to correct our wrongs and this may be his. If I can contribute to him finding the right path in his life than my job is done. I have given my entire life to many children not just my own. I will continue to do that for the rest of my life because they are the future for me, you and all. Our world depends on their outcome and by helping children we are in turn helping ourselves. So to sum it all up, I do what I do, for myself ! So if you feel the need to call me something for my choices, call me selfish because we were all children once. Carolin Palmer
