This is new for me, experiencing it as a privilege that I can see that pain.
It's a miracle. A privilege. It's grace: the privilege to be someone who cares.
Maybe I didn't even think I could feel that for someone. I could relate to him as someone from the same social class as me, and I used to live there, but I don't know him at all. Is there anything more you were saying that you remember?
That's really beautiful.
