Joann wrote: This was a very brave act of kindness. The man was in danger and maybe embarrassed about his condition, but you got him home where he could be safe. This is a great lesson for all in, as you say, not judging others. We never know what someone else may be going through. Thank you for the reminder.

I read a blog from a woman who's brother was a homeless alcoholic and she said a 'thank you' to everyone who had ever given him food, money or cared enough to help him - and the kindness of strangers kept her brother alive.

Letting go of all judgement is a hard learn, but opens our hearts to empathy and love, and allows us to make some wonderful connections. True kindness, my dear friend. Bless you and your husband. And blessings for that dear man.
