Guest guest Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 I just had to post this today. Last night I was on my way back from taking a friend of mine to the hospital, when I saw a homeless woman waking with no shoes on and only a blanket to keep her warm. She was a large woman with no shoes and barely anything for warmth. My heart went out to her. At first I passed her by, but I kept thinking of how sad that was and wondering why she had gotten in that kind of situation in the first place. I could not get that image out of my mind, maybe perhaps thinking, no one would hire her because she was overweight, perhaps she had suffered the predjudice that we all have and still experience because of our size. Anyway I turned my car around and found her,I gave her a blanket I had in my car and I only had $6 on me and I gave her that, hoping she could find something warm to eat and drink. She was ever so grateful. Today I cleaned out my closet and I will find her tonight and give her some shoes and clothing. I guess this made me reflect on just how fortunate I am in my life to have a loving family, a home , a job and good friends. So fortunate to have all my new MGB friends and I am thankful to all of you and Doctor Rutledge for coming into my life. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU Pat Iurato Nevada pre op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
