I found your description of how you debated with yourself about what type of giving would be most appropriate to help melvin but not enable him heartening. It is a difficult balance to strike, and i struggle with it too. I am glad that in the end, you found that the result didn't matter so much as the effect the kindness had on both of your hearts.
