Grisham's Lessons #2 The unexpected can change everything

In this scene from Legend of Crystal Cove of The Island Gang series, Larry describes the heartbreak Grisham is feeling at the loss of his bride of 43 years. One day he is having a tearful moment inside his home when he hears singing coming from his porch. Quietly he opens the side door to find a young girl on his porch swing, singing as if she were alone in the world. The words to “Sunshine On My Shoulders” (John Denver) and clarity of tone in her voice catch him quite off guard. Wendy, who due to the condition of the yard, thought she had wandered onto an abandoned estate, suddenly senses that she is being watched. She quickly turns to find Grisham in the doorway behind her. There is an awkward moment, followed by an invitation from Grisham to come use the swing anytime.
