A second suggested Rerun from Sharon Frame Gay is this by James McEwan – this is what she said:
A favorite story of mine is by James McEwan, his story, “The Lady In The Bauble“. It was very touching and I remember that it stuck with me for a long time.

A fine choice, Sharon. It represents the best of Mr. McEwan.

Glad this was posted as a rerun as it didn’t see it the first time. The piece does an excellent job of humanizing the real-life event, which in today’s world seems stranger than fiction.

Hi Sharon,
Excellent choice.
This story has been around for a long while and not just here. But no matter how long, the quality shines through.
Hope to see more choices from you!!
