It is amazing to see how despite being essentially abandoned by both parents, the author finds hope and perseverance through random acts of kindness, friendship, and the game of golf. These were not easy times to grow up in and I am sure had some of these events happened today, the author as a child would have been in foster care instead of living by himself in a rented room in order to finish high school.

Little did I know that we had visitors, hundreds of them! Our new palm by the lanai had a new addition that had not been there earlier in the day. Posted by Marti Sullivan at 7: Bob and I had been watching this animal with the binoculars as it made its way closer and closer to our house while it walked the perimeter of the preserve. This Bobcat was very close to our house, and of course I was outside trying to get a great shot.
