Chapter 6

I opened the place six months later.

A community center. Free meals. Doctors. Counseling.

I named it The Last Tablet.

Because that was what it had come down to. One tablet. One choice. Everything.

People came. They ate. They healed. They found hope.

And I learned something: being rich isn’t about having money. It’s about being able to help.

One afternoon, a woman came in with her young son. He looked tired. Thin. Just like Tyler had.

She couldn’t afford his medicine. She was afraid. Alone.

I handed her what she needed. Just like I’d wanted someone to hand it to me.

"Don't give up," I told her. "Kindness comes back. Sometimes in ways you never expect."

May you like

She cried and thanked me. And as she walked away... I understood.

I hadn't lost my job in the rain. I’d found my purpose.
