The Promise
Although Maison was a grown man now, to his mom, he would always be her little boy. Having him live so far away was difficult for her. Mrs. Vallance worried that Maison might be “influenced by the world” and lose his way.
To counter this, she made Maison promise her that he would remember his roots and always be a “good boy.” As Maison traveled to his new home, his mother’s face and words stayed etched in his memory.
