    Story:
    Home help Ruth cares for Harry above and beyond the call of duty. She fetches his shopping, brings him meals, and makes sense of his paperwork. All in all, she's like a daughter to him.
    When his health begins to decline, Ruth tries to discover friends or family to care for him but Harry insists there is no one, he's all alone in the world. She becomes even more concerned when a chance discovery reveals a sizable sum of money languishing in his bank account.

    Wow! That was a good story. Shows that there could be many reasons why a person has money.

    Ruth, Tess, Harry each played their part superbly, and I thoroughly enjoyed this play.
    But like others have previously mentioned the ending was to short.

    Very believable. Nothing more than money to drive wedges between family members.

    This is a bittersweet story that is quite believable. I knew a home health worker who was as genuinely kind as Ruth. People's lives are complicated, only God can make sense of all the brokenness we encounter and the hurt we inflict on others. Only the gospel of Jesus's great redemptive death and resurrection can make sense of what seems senseless.

    It just stinks the way it ended. She got hit by a car and then the play ended.
    Or
    Did you,
    cut the Play Short. ?
