Sunday front page presents huge contrast
There could not have been two more disparate articles than those you featured, side by side, in the Feb. 12 News & Record.
One, a story of complete selflessness and love; the other of venality and selfishness. I refer first to Ebony Miles, a young woman who, led by faith, offered one of her kidneys to Cassandra Elliott, a total stranger. Their story shook my composure, uplifted my flagging spirit, and gave me hope.
This tale of courage and generosity stands in sharp contrast to the second article regarding the children of Kay Bryan Edwards and the fighting among them over her estate. Moments after being transformed, I was reduced to such sadness for the Bryan family, who, I suspect, will fail to amass enough temporal wealth to ever satisfy their needs. They remain paupers in comparison to Miss Miles, who despite her young age, has already earned her fortune, and it is everlasting.
