When I worked up north, one of the other doctors said, “That’s the difference between the Cree and the Inuit. The Inuit are very friendly, they say hi, but that’s as far as it goes. The Cree won’t say much. They seem cold. But when they take you in, they treat you as a brother.”
I only worked with the Cree for a week, so I can’t say how true it is, but since then, I’ve found it useful to compare people who are very happy with surfaces (your story’s husband & presumably the daughters) vs. the ones who are willing to take the pain and emotional investment (Ronald). Well done.
Kris, I was absolutely blown away by this story! Wow! Just wow! I loved it!
Thank you for this wonderful story. Writing truly doesn’t get any better than this, at least IMHO.
Thanks, Mary Jo. 🙂
