The important thing is what you think, Lalo. Why do you think it's been bothering you?
[ It's important to keep his questions focused on Lalo's problem, though he finds himself continuing to wonder why the man asked him for help in this particular manner. Perhaps it was just because he happened to be nearby when Lalo was thinking it over.
But that doesn't mean he can't empathize, or think back on his own experiences and use them to try and see where Lalo might be coming from. ]
I was fortunate to grow up with several strong women in my life, and have met many more throughout my career. I once helped an Inuit woman give birth out on the ice... when it was over, she took her baby and walked back to her home through a storm. To me, that kind of strength has always been something to admire.
