The epilogue features Geoffrey and his actions following Kevin’s death. Your thoughts? Did it help provide a balm for Kevin’s loss?

I don't know if it was a balm so much as the realization that Kevin had an impact on a young boy that will change his future. Geoffrey will never forget Kevin that's for sure.

It made me feel better that Kevin’s last act produced courage in this young man. What better way to honor him! I felt like Kevin didn’t die in vain.

Yes, touching. But I'm still sad, darn it!!

It was a lovely tribute to a fair dinkum hero as us Aussies would say. No doubt it has changed Geoffrey's life and Kev Dawson will never be forgotten. But at such a cost for his family and police family. 😢

“Fair dinkum hero”…

I don’t know what that means but something about it feels right😏

"fair dinkum hero" I love it!

Here's the definition - It's used a lot in Australia especially for those of us born in the 60's or earlier.

fair dinkum
[fair dinkum]
DEFINITION
used to emphasize or seek confirmation of the genuineness or truth of something.
"Eric and his assistant are fair dinkum magicians" · [more]

"they were asking a lot for the car, but fair dinkum considering its list price"

Thanks, Lisa! I think I may use this😏

I agree with everyone. Geoffrey will never forget what Kev did for him. He gave him the courage to make changes in his life.

I agree, Robin.
