Witnessing small victories, like the one you eloquently described here, used to be part of how I managed my mood as a family preservation worker in Detroit many years ago.

Latching on to small victories can be a way to build big ones. I'm sure someone survived the Titanic on a small scrap of wood

I have some in my coat top pocket, for just such an occasion. Detroit and her people are so fortunate to have you. Both for your kind heart and your talent in telling their stories.
