Recalling his own relatives
The youngsters had not eaten much over the day, as he had suspected. What if his kids went on a bake sale and got up in a situation like this? Robert wondered. As he became more aware of their frailty, his heart broke. The irony is that they were selling food because they didn’t have any.
His children’s faces appeared in his mind, and he realized that he needed to help them at all costs. He wouldn’t be able to take another step forward that day if he let them go hungry. Despite the fact that the bake sale was not for them or the church, he still wanted to feed them.
