The kid has so much of his life ahead of him. Nostalgia, perhaps looking back, there was a whiff of jealousy.

The poor kid just stood there looking up at me with those big Doe in the headlights eyes like I just ran over his puppy. I felt so bad that all I could think to say was thanks for your help as I headed for the door. Anyone else ever have something like this happen to them? Come on guys I need some moral support here.
