That was such a nice story, heart-warming to see Edger make a real friend in Pixie, and by able to see beyond the superficial "friend" Gary... To be honest I think there are lots of Garys who don't get to spend enough quality time with their parents - it is a sad consequence of modern life and the wheel of greed which is a part of many people's lives... I would take Edger or Pixie's life any day.. Sure, they have fewer toys and belongings, but they have so much more than that.. Time and love cannot be bought... Thanks @deaconlee, a thoroughly enjoyable read..
