hardened and it will continue b/c our children watch and learn from us! Thank you for not only confronting your fear, but also for letting your son witness your "uncomfortable" act of kindness! I think we miss out on touching those who need it the most, because we are afraid of anyone/thing that is different. We rarely step out of our comfort zones. We should remember the greatest example of unselfish acts ever--Jesus!! Who were the people he helped and even chose to be around? The "safe" or the "scary men"?
You are a great dad!

When I go home I hope to see the old familiar homeless people and old people who walk down town on Main St. Some talk to themselves as this man does and others are quiet but always going somewhere, directly somewhere. God bless the homeless and the crazy people and those of us who learn to love them.
