She was very sweet and very grateful that I had reached out to them. We had a wonderful conversation. She said&nbsp;James was called Jimmy, too. I think she found comfort in my detailed account of the accident and in my presence with Jimmy that day. I found comfort in learning a little about&nbsp;him and his family. I told her about how I felt a connection with&nbsp;him somehow and she completely understood. As strange as this might sound, it was a <em>joyful <\/em>conversation. Of course I don&#8217;t mean that we shared belly laughs with one another, but rather, I think we found the quiet joy&nbsp;in the humanity of sharing comfort with a stranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\" data-attachment-id=\"7581\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/2009\/08\/poornography\/sig\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sig.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"400,100\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sig\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sig.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sig.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sig.jpg 400w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sig-120x30.jpg 120w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sig-90x23.jpg 90w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sig-320x80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Please pin, tweet, and share!
