On his daily runs he meets a lowly elderly man on a park bench. On their first meeting he sits down with the man for a break before he continues his run and discovers that the most eye opening realisations can come from talking to a complete stranger.

Set across 30 days, this story slowly unfolds the life stories of both the runner and the elderly man as they talk and converse in their unintentional meetings and reveal their personal struggles as they learn from each other compassion, humility and courage as well as acceptance in facing the inevitability of death.

The man keeps visiting Maggie over the years. And when Margaret turns sixteen their father gives them a gift that will change their life for the better. Chp. 4 Preview: She was able to see what the paper had on it immediately after taking it from the shelf, and it made her heart immediately drop. Her blood sugar fell, and her face became pale, feeling dizzy. Her heart began racing as she saw me staring at her. The drawing she just found was a realistic depiction of myself smiling at the person who saw it. Unlike myself, who felt joy and inspiration from seeing father draw me this, mother was scared witless. Her legs became jelly, her body was paralyzed. All she could do was stare at the drawing, knowing that no one could have drawn this except an adult. And she knew I did not talk to any adults- or did I? Now she couldn't be too sure. This picture was from someone who knew how I looked, even getting the dimples on my cheeks and small birthmark on the side of my neck. It was someone that had to know me very well.
