Stepping out of jail into the cold wind, Bob, now 58, felt lost and helpless.
“Twenty years is a long time,” he smiled bitterly, not knowing where to go.He had no family, and had never heard a word from Jimmy again since that cold, dark night.“Was he ashamed of having a friend like me?”Bob longed for an answer.
“Excuse me, sir, are you Bob? ”Bob heard the voice of a young man.
“Yes.” He turned around and was surprised to find a familiarlooking man in his thirties.“Have we met before?”
“No,sir,” replied the man.“My father told me to meet you today.I have a note for you from him.”
Doubtfully, Bob unfolded the note.His hands were shaking by the time he had finished reading.
Bob, the doctor says I've only got three months.I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you this time, but you'll always be my dear friend.
Jimmy
“You're Jimmy's son?!” Bob shouted in surprise.
“Yes,sir,” the young man smiled. “And my name is Bob.”
