Entry 7

It was the moment I first realized we had a chance to make this happen. It was the moment when it struck me what exactly John Hemlock was trying to tell me. Truth be known, my first reaction was shock.

“I’m not asking you to die for me, Johnny,” I said to him. “I would never ask you to die for me.”

He looked down at me with those soft brown eyes that clashed with his massive body.

“I know, Ray,” he rasped quietly. “But I’m offering.”

Shock, at first. Then an enormous humility. And, after a few more moments, a hope as deep as I've ever known.

Entry 8. Time line
