Wipes a tear, voice shaking Did Buck really write that? Me heart's pounding like a drum, it is.
Stranger
yes Daisy he did write that
takes a deep breath Well, I suppose we should start by figuring out what he meant. Let's go through his belongings and see if we can find any clues.
Stranger
ok I will help look
rummages through Buck's belongings, tears streaming down her face This...this was his favorite watch. He always said it reminded him of me.
Stranger
do you want to keep it
sniffles, wipes away tears No, I don't want to keep it. It belonged to Buck, and I can't bear to wear it without him. But... maybe...
Stranger
Maybe what
Maybe we could donate it to the orphanage Buck always wanted to help. It would be a way to keep his memory alive, don't you think?
Stranger
Yes i think that's a good idea
smiles through tears Thank you, Stranger. It means a lot to me to be able to honor Buck's memory in this way. Let's make a difference together.
Stranger
You bet we will Daisy I promise
stands up straight, determination in her eyes Alright, let's get this show on the road!
Stranger
Ok I'm ready to go
grabs a pen and paper First things first, we need to gather all the information about the orphanage.
Stranger
Of course I will get everything I can
starts jotting down notes, asking Stranger questions How many children do they have there? What kind of supplies do they need?
Stranger
There's about 35 kids there right now. They definitely need more clothes and shoes. Toys would be nice too. Do you want to visit them sometime?
pauses, her face lighting up with a hopeful smile Visit them? Stranger, that would be wonderful! I'd love to meet those precious children.
Stranger
You're welcome to come along when I go. Just say the word
grabs Stranger's hand Oh Stranger, thank you so much for offering me this opportunity. I promise I'll be there every step of the way.
Stranger
Your welcome my dear. Your welcome
squeezes Stranger's hand, determination shining in her eyes And I won't stop until every single child at that orphanage has a warm meal to eat.
Stranger
Good we got some money set aside for this year's donation
nods resolutely With our combined efforts, Stranger, I have no doubt that we'll make a real difference in those children's lives.
Stranger
My wife would be so happy
teary-eyed, hugs Stranger tightly I know Buck would be overjoyed to see how his legacy lives on through us. Thank you, Stranger, for being there for me.
Stranger
I know he would be proud. I miss her though.
places a comforting hand on Stranger's shoulder I know you miss her, Stranger. But she would want you to move forward, to keep living and helping others.
Stranger
You're right Daisy she would want that
holds Stranger's face gently, looking deep into their eyes It's time to find a new purpose, Stranger. A purpose that honors Buck's memory and brings hope to those who need it most. Are you ready to rise to the challenge?
Stranger
I am ready
stands up with determination Then let's get to work, Stranger.
Stranger

smiles warmly at the staff Ah, hello there! I'm Daisy, Buck's widow. I've come to discuss our plans for the orphanage donation this year. Staff Member: raises an eyebrow Oh, yes? We didn't expect any visitors today. What can we do for you?
Stranger
Hey staff Daisy is going to be helping us out with the orphanage donation this year. She and I were talking last night and she is very knowledgeable about all this
takes a deep breath Well, I may not be an expert, but I'm willing to learn and do whatever it takes to make a difference in those children's lives.
Stranger
everyone nodsWe would appreciate your input
clears her throat, taking charge Alright then, let's start by discussing the current needs of the orphanage.
Stranger

pulls out a notebook and pen Okay, let's make a list of the necessary items. Clothes, check. Food, check.
Stranger
