What a sweet memory of you and Gavin, one that demonstrates the love and tenderness of good dads.

It’s not important if we lose our cool once in awhile, as long as we have some times like these to hold onto.

I think you must have caught an old Routemaster London bus. They averaged around half a million miles in service. Still see the occasional one trundling down the A2 road near our house, on its way to Canterbury.

You were lucky it didn't rain and wash the wallet down a drain.

As you kept your cool, were you hearing harp music, and did the halo weigh heavy or light? Its not something I've experienced, yet. Doubt I've deserved.

Lovely story, David - I'm so glad you got the precious things back! And that you remained calm and positive. I have occasionally managed that, too.

David, you're spoken musings are hypnotic. I found my memories triggered and drifted off, reminiscing of my relationship in earlier days with my son. I will have to listen twice more, I think, to get the full benefit of the wisdom.

I hope it brings you more fond memories each time you listen. Thank you for the kind words, David.

I always listen to your recording. In fact, I started recording my articles because of you. 😊

Great at so many levels David....of course for me it was in the end and not just from wisdom but from our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ that 3 things are important in life here and for the next...Faith, Hope and Love. Love is the most important because unlike the first which is for our relationship to the one and only Triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), Love is given to others and that is what will be the difference maker as we are any where in the world. Remember David wherever you go in life YOU are there!

I'm amazed that the wallet and passport were still there! A positive outcome and an inspiring story. It seems it's true what the posters say: "Keep calm and carry on."
