The narrative centers on a cherished homemade sign that represents a pivotal lesson learned by Michael Barber from his grandmother. At five years old, he was taught the value of hard work by running a vegetable stand along the Heart of Dixie Highway instead of receiving handouts. This experience instilled in him the importance of earning, a lesson that resonates with him even fifty years later, as the faded sign remains a lasting symbol of his grandmother's wisdom and the unconditional love of God.
