Analysis of Righteousness



The old Hispanic woman
talking to her partner on his death bed
who was a marine in the Viet Nam war
whose name was Jim Kline.
He talked to his wife every day.
They had four kids.
One died, a boy, tragically in an auto accident but they had a beautiful family.  
The survivor is a boy and two girls.
