"Okay, now, line it up here," I said, showing him how to guide the fabric. He followed my instructions carefully, his brow furrowed in concentration. My heart leaped with a newfound lightness. It was a sense of utter joy.

The sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the colorful fabric. The world seemed bright, and filled with promise.
