Fernando’s Reflections on THE SWEATER

fernando-morning-sunshine-feb-2017-1

“Some mornings I wake up early just to catch a little sun coming in the window. This was one of those mornings. It was chilly so I put on my sweater. But let me tell you about this sweater. It’s not just any sweater … it was a hand-me-down from my brother, Harley. The fact is, I never got to meet my brother, but I know him well, and I know he would have given me the sweater right off his back.

“So, I just sat there for a while and thought about the sweater. It fits me well, it’s a great color and it’s soft and warm. It feels like love. What a great way to start the day. Thank you, Harley!” -Love, Fernando
