Day 129

A friend of mine shared this story with me: 

A friend of his saw a homeless man, in his 60's or 70's, who had not shaved in about 10 years. They started chatting and found out he has Parkinson's disease. He also found out he won five bull riding competitions before he was sent to Vietnam. 

The man loved getting to know him and his story, so he bought the homeless man a vodka and orange juice. Even though some might say buying alcohol was not ideal in this situation, I want to focus on the fact they spent lots of time talking. That in itself speaks louder than anything. 

Billy Joe was the homeless man's name. Every homeless man or woman has a story. Do not be so quick to judge. Have an open mind and strike up a conversation to get to know why they are even homeless to begin with.
