An Incredible Story of Friendship Keeps Young Boy’s Memory Alive
|
| Will Manganis lost his best friend Joey at 6 years old to cardiomyopathy. “I wish that Joey hadn’t died”, he says. Few eight-year olds have ever uttered such words about a friend. The two had been inseparable since they met. “We’d have to separate them a lot at lunchtime because they wouldn’t stop talking”, Scott Middlemiss, Joey’s father, says with a laugh. “I wanted to sell lemonade at the farmer’s market, but we couldn’t do that, so I came up with kindness rocks”, says Will. Kindness rocks are colorful rocks painted with kind designs. Will sells the rocks (with assistance from his mom) at fairs and events, and even has a few retail outlets that carry his product. He has used much of the proceeds to donate to the foundation established in the name of his best friend, and also to buy “buddy benches” for local schools. |

It’s an offering. So we worked to do our best and then just watched for the signs to show us where this was supposed to go. The only intention we’ve had is to try to have some healing.

To Try to Have Some Healing: A Conversation with Silas Hagerty
What would you do to remember a deep wrong? Would you ride over 300 miles, through the Dakotas and Minnesota on horseback, in the middle of winter as a ceremonial act of forgiveness and reconciliation? And, if asked, would you be willing to accompany the journey to document the healing as an act of service? Read this interview from Parabola with Silas Hagerty. Silas describes his experience filming the journey of Jim Miller, Native American elder as he and others called to enact a dream given him. The dream of a ride on horseback, to honor and heal the spirits of 38 Native Americans hanged in 1862, in the largest mass execution in American history. Learn how the bold decision to give freely, whether your talents or your forgiveness, bring forth all manner healing gifts. { read more }
