Jim Mosley

Sue was 76, a retired nurse who embodied the Golden Rule. Treat others as you'd want to be treated.

She had long been an empty nester after raising four kids. But recently, she'd become a widow.

She didn't want to live in a retirement home. After all, she had a pretty nice setup in Southport, the kind of place where neighbors stop to chat, where faith runs deep, and where the most scandalous thing to happen is someone sitting in the wrong pew at church.

In recent months, Jim had taken on the role of dutiful son, but it began to dawn on him that his mother needed more regular help at home, something he couldn't provide working as a medical sales rep. So when Camille agreed to take care of his mother in exchange for room and board, it felt heaven-sent.

Jim himself had gone on more than 10 missions to Ethiopia to help build a medical clinic and housing for doctors and nurses. He knew from experience how a missionary moves through the world, giving their labor freely, seldom drawing attention to themselves. He remembered thinking, Camille didn't exactly look the part.

But Sue and Camille got on just great. Camille helped her get to and from appointments, did the chores, ran the errands. She was in her early 60s, 14 years younger than Sue. But Camille was interested in being part of Sue's life.

The arrangement was working out just great.
