Don't Judge a book By Its Cover
“Bill was certainly not a child. Bill was a full-grown man. His presence in a safe house could well have been taken as threatening to some of the other residents. Also, I wanted him with me and he wanted to be with me.
My mom set up two meetings between Bill and his mother. Each time she drove Bill to a neutral location that wasn’t at the safe house, and someone else drove his mother there to meet him. The first time my mom and I stayed with them. We were concerned that we were preventing them f...rom talking, because they sat and looked down, neither of them talking with anyone, especially not with each other.
The second time they got together we drove Bill and then we sat out in the car to give them some privacy. We were able to see them through the windows of the fast food restaurant where they were meeting this time. It appeared that our presence or absence was not a factor one way or another in their talking. The two sat as still and quiet as they had the first time.
A week later, just before they were due to meet again, my mom received a letter from Bill’s mom.MoreLess
