jim
When I was an awkward teenager and unsure of myself, Jim would see me, put his arm around me, squeeze and smile. I would swell with confidence.
When my fiance broke off our wedding and broke my heart, Jim was my counselor and would coach me on how to win her back. I would swell with confidence.
When I was an awkward adult and unsure of myself, Jim would see me, light up, put his arms around me and squeeze. He would talk to me through his eyes - that he was proud of me and liked me. I would swell with confidence.
