I have seen this video before and it never fails to make me weep. Seeing Shirley free at last, and the joy of Jenny and Shirley at their reunion is simply awesome. Solomon James is a very special, caring person, and his relationship with and love for Shirley is such an important part of this story.

Thanks for posting, napkinz.
