Lovely to meet you, Elle!

I’m also 5'4"! I know, just a random fact. LOL!

But I digress...

What a wonderfully patient person you are. I’m glad you stood your ground and were able to connect with him.

We have so many homeless people in the UK, and many don’t want to stay in shelters.

He speaks five languages—how amazing and educated! I can barely speak English, let alone German, French, Italian... Oh, how educated he must be. I wonder how he ended up in this situation of homelessness.

Narrated wonderfully by you....

my vertically challenged sistah, thank you for the kind words! I too wonder from time to time what became of him. Its been more than 8 years since then and after COVID, only God knows.

It is amazingly beautiful how some people will literally share this life ride with you for just a few hours in total and in some way shift - the way you see the world, yourself and your humanity.

John was another good soul, it's always nice when they come to mind.

Thank you again -

Be Well

"Being present, willing to be vulnerable, and patient enough to receive is the path of empathy and grace." So beautiful 💕

Thanks Elle for sharing this account of one of your patients with us. A clear lesson of how each of us is human.
