"I not going to forget him again, no, the whole enduring time." ( A Worn Path, pg 230)
I'll be honest, I never throught this day would come. I thought this would be a story about a crazy old lady that hikes into town to die. I really thought that. Turns out this kind lady who takes care of her crippled grandson hikes for miles and miles to help him, and the ten cents she gets goes straight to him. I think the central insight, or theme, of this story is love until it hurts. Mother Teresa once said that if you love until it hurts, then there can be no more hurt, only love! That's why the author went in to such detail over all her obstacles on her journey. Claps for this happy story!
