As we arrived,I looked over at him,5.rolling down his cheeks.My heart melted into my stomach.He looked over at me,with uncontrollable tears and said,“I'm so sorry for all of this.I have never met someone so kind-hearted,so friendly,and so non-judgemental.I felt like I lifted so many years of feelings off my 6.（hand/mind）—to someone I didn't even know,but was willing to 7..”
