(66,372 posts)Even the bad times were good.
I was taking the ferry from France back to England (which had been my base for my travels at the time). I was homesick, physically sick, and broke. I can't imagine being more miserable.
This sweet young English kid who was travelling with his family sort of adopted me for the journey. He looked after me, got me some broth from the galley, gave me some candies, and wrote a very nice note for me (including elementary school-style drawings) when he, his family, and I parted ways in Dover.
Young people like this boy continue to give me hope that all is not lost for the human race. And that those who care for, and look out for, their fellow human beings, are the ones who give us a future.
