Just one...

Just once I got out of the van after the rain stopped to rub a towel over it and everybody "showed up". A pick up truck with a couple men on there way by and then another pair stopped as I had nearly wiped off one side of the van. I had just finished when a woman stopped to talk. She was from the newspaper . She had hardly gotten out of her car when another man, in a pickup truck, I practically answered that reporters first twenty questions by her just listening to he and I talk. Another pickup piled up with a pair of women this time . For a moment we were all having a good time there on the side of the road but all those folks have folks or are those folks with diabetes... " it's a epidemic. " The man was type 1 and told of his surgery he recently had despite his best efforts and about battles he'd had with his mother over her bags of candy and how he cared for her so much that he wasn't gonna' allow it on his watch....that they had " a fallin'out ' and she went to his sisters and it was all about choices and some folks you just can't reach. We shook' hands and as he drove away he said what I was doing was worthwhile even of it was getting thru to ... Just one.
