I was walking into one of my favorite lunch spots today when a homeless man asked me if I would get him a sandwich.
I told him sure and asked what he would like. I went inside and ordered both of our lunches. He came in and sat at a table while we waited. The woman behind the counter looked at him funny, perhaps thinking he shouldn't be in there. I walked back over and sat
and talked with him so she knew he was a paying customer.
He is a Native American man from Flagstaff, about 2 hours away by car. He is down in Phoenix because he had to go to the hospital. We had a nice conversation about some of the challenges he has faced as well as all of the craziness going on in the world these days.
He was happy it was cool inside of the restaurant. When we got our lunch, I had to go back to work. It was nice to see him smile as he opened his sandwich and soda. I smiled and wished my new friend Milton well on his travels back to his home up north hoping this would make his day a little brighter today.
Kindness matters, always! :)
