For 23 years, Nancy honored her late son Henry by baking his favorite pie and bringing it to his grave on the anniversary of his death. One year, she returned to find the pie gone, replaced by a note that said, “Thank you.” Angry and confused, she hid behind a tree the next day to catch the thief. To her surprise, it was a young boy named Jimmy, hungry and homeless, who had taken the pie.
Moved by his story, Nancy invited Jimmy to her home, baked him a fresh pie, and watched as he devoured it with gratitude. In that moment, Nancy felt peace, realizing that in sharing her love, she was honoring Henry’s memory in a new, meaningful way.
