holes in hearts

Greg Zoe and me were eating breakfast at Carl's Jr. and a couple came to our table asking for a handout...

they were showing pictures of a little boy, who they say was their nephew (4 yrs. old) who died during surgery to repair a hole in his heart...I told her about Zoe and she said, "please do not get surgery for her, we wish we had not for him..."

they needed the money for funeral expenses...I gave whatever I had in my pocket...

Greg being who he is, questioned me on how true did I think it was...I said, that I couldn't really help it...if it was made up. they went to a fair amount of trouble with the kid's picture, etc...not sure where you do draw the line...
but, me being me, I always have and always will root for the underdog but, also saying that I don't know when it is real and when it is not...
if I were in that position, would want someone to help me out...and that is the final word...I help when I can and don't when I can't...
