Every time I read that story I cry too, just beautiful.

I started reading this thinking that there's no way I'd cry since I'd been warned by the title. I was wrong, I'm crying. Beautiful.

I love it! Just makes me feel so good everytime I read it. I always say a little prayer that all little boys needing a Mr. Miller find theirs.

Thank you for the beautiful story...especially for the "morals of the story" at the end...sometimes we become so bogged down with our own life, that we don't look around at how we might help others...Naomi

Went to a funeral yesterday for a the father of a dear friend. A gentleman in the service stood up to tell about him giving him his first job and later on to be a friend and mentor. All of his greatgrandchildren took the mic and told about what a wonderful grandfather he was. These kids were 6 to 9 years old. The oldest boy being nine put his tie in the casket and a note for pap to read on his journey to heaven. He had taught the grandchild to tie the tie and he wanted to show pap that he had learned how to do it right. It was so moving!
