It is sometimes hard to remember why I make that hour-long trip out to the little orphanage on the other side of town. I always keep in my pocket that hazy recollection of 'Theresa'. Her warm smile and her sweet accommodating attitude.

She told me today that she ended up staying at the orphanage all night, yesterday. Some of the orphans were graduating from high school about now. That not only meant they were graduating from school, but from their home as well. Many of them already had jobs and they were working with them to find a place to live, however, Theresa was still worried about them. So, in a final effort to make sure they found their place in the world, she invited them one by one into her office to tell them about the bank book, how to keep track of their spending and to tell each of them that wherever they were, whatever happened, they could call her at this number and reach her at this place, for a least the next three years.

Yes, I think she is a very big reason.
