My neighbor was a single mom with a little boy. She hardly made ends meet. I used to babysit him and feed him. Then one day, they vanished without a word.
20 years passed. I’m now a secretary at a law firm, and I saw her son’s name scheduled for a visit.
Later that day, he arrived. My hands started shaking when I saw him. He came in, and I was shocked when he started to walk straight toward me. He said my name and introduced himself.
He had become a successful lawyer. That little boy was now a handsome young man—6 feet tall and wearing an elegant suit. I learned that he was meeting with our head lawyer to join the firm. He was a bright attorney and, despite his young age, had already started to make a big name for himself.
