A Gift in Return
Taking his hand gently, Susan leaned forward and whispered, “You once gave me music that carried me through the darkest moments of my life. Tonight, I’d like to give a little back.”

It was a gift for one man who had unknowingly shaped her journey. Witnesses said the room changed instantly — like light had poured in through the cracks of illness and fear. The sterile air became warm. Time felt suspended.
