I certainly hope it's not because she just doesn't like chickens. I could never break the heart of someone I love just because of my dislike, so hoping that was not the case. <br />(Maybe she is allergic to them and he had no choice) <br />I think your real kindness to him was that you simply didn't require an explanation. They say the true measure of a person is what you do when no one is looking, and I think you do a fair amount of wonderful and unselfish things when no one is looking. You are a good man John, a good man indeed.
