Day 9

Today I handed a care package to a homeless man: Travel size tissues, mouthwash, toothpaste, and floss, deodorant, a bar of soap, a disposable razor, peanuts, raisins, a granola bar, and an old multi-tool -- All stuff I found in my house, unused and/or unlikely to be missed.

I'm sure this man is used to being invisible. He stands at the same intersection all the time, hot or cold, rain or shine, while all of us driving by or waiting at the stop light pretend he's not there.

When I slowed down and got his attention to hand him the bag, he had a look of gratitude that I won't soon forget.
