Stories of Kindness from Around the World

More Than Breakfast


--by cyctw, posted Mar 26, 2019
I saw Junior sitting outside...he looked like he was talking to himself...as I walked into Starbucks. Normally I would just say "hi" and walk by. For some reason, I decided to stop and engage in a short conversation. I asked if he was able to stay warm last night (it's getting pretty cold, even here in the Bay Area, at night). He said he's got lots of blankets. He also told me where he sleeps...I think I'll visit him there.

Anyway, he doesn't ask for anything, but Junior does graciously accept any offer. I got him some breakfast and a drink that he said he'd like.

Junior told me how his sister lives nearby...well, he was difficult to understand...but that's what I gathered. She helps him out quite often.
Upon departing, Junior kept saying "thank you" and how he "owed me one."

I just said, "you don't owe me anything." I've been so blessed during my lifetime. I haven't always gotten everything I wanted, but I always got more than I needed. I am on a beautiful journey and am grateful to you all for walking along side me.
