Everybody has a story. Everybody has a past. Everybody has a future… It was so obvious to me that this man had an incredible past. The emotion in his eyes and demeanor made it incredibly apparent! He was very curious of who I was, as we all would be in his situation. I told him that I was just there handing out clothes, and a different man appeared. From then on I knew he was an old soul. He was so happy to have the polo, especially since he did not have a shirt on when we met. As we talked, he revealed his story to me, which I will not divulge as to respect his privacy. In discovering more about his story, he revealed to me that an accident in the past left him physically unable to smile without serious pain. Therefore what transpired next made me absolutely weak in the knees!!!
After he put on the polo, I could see the tiny muscles in his face move and although I could tell it hurt him, that the amount of happiness, joy and love numbed all of it! Words cannot express how much joy was in the air!
It’s amazing what we can experience with a little love! We gave each other a fist bump, and left with a hearty hand shake and hug! Mad respect!
