“Once Abi called to volunteer to come out and ride with me, Mary was relieved … I was relieved that I had somebody with me,” Steve said.
Abi was humbled by mistakes and boosted by every new lesson learned. Over 12 months the pair grew close, sharing great conversations about their hopes, dreams, and Abi’s plans for the future as they worked.
