The highlight of my day was seeing Lauren, a woman without a home at this time. I brought her the bag of things I had prepared including things from Sister Ann. It was snowing when I got to see her. We talked as the snow came down around us.
She told me that she was grateful for her homelessness (in a way) because it has made her faith in God stronger. She said that she had to find something to be grateful out of this whole ordeal. We also talked about how it could happen to anyone at any time. Her words really touched me.She asked how I was feeling and thanked me so much for helping them. I was going into the supermarket and asked if she wanted anything, she said she was good, that someone had bought her dinner. That is one of the things I like about her, she doesn't ask for what she doesn't need. I am truly glad to call her my friend.
