Surprised myself — 10 months ago
So i’m driving on my way home from work sitting at a red light when I look over and see this old old man on the sidewalk picking something off the ground (maybe a coin). He sees me looking and starts waving and saying something, so I roll the window down and he walks over and asks if I can drive him to the store for a loaf of bread. My head tells me no, but he looks so pitiful and he had a very hard time even walking over to my car, so I told him to get in. He looks homeless and he clothes are stained badly. Right away I smell this dirty, rauncy odor comming from him. Its only a few blocks from the store and so its no big deal, but he wants me to wait for him. I waited and drove him back home and Ed (he introduced himself) thanks me profusly and shakes my hand. He says he will return the favor one day, but I told him he did me a favor by letting me help him today. I dropped him off in front of his house and he says I’m a lifesaver because he needed bread with his dinner. If you are reading this, say a prayer for Ed, I think he can use a few.
