Do You Know My Name?

My name is MoYou pass me every day when you get off the train at Randolph and Wabash. I’m the homeless guy who sells StreetWise newspapers on the corner. Rain, shine, snow, blistering heat I’m always here and I can tell by the disgusted look on your face that you wonder why I don’t get a “real” job. I’ve heard you tell other people not to give

I already told you that I absolutely loved this, but I want to reiterate that here. It's wonderful. Full of truth and emotion. I cried the first time I read it and I teared up again just now. I was especially touched by Andrew and could relate to his mother because of things I've experienced with my son. Well done.

:hugs and kisses you: Thank you so much for your encouragement. This was so therapeutic for me and I wanted to share it with you guys. I just...I don't know, I just lose my nerve easily.

It's hard sometimes...being the mother of a boy like Andy. He can in the same breath be the most amazing person on the planet and then your worst nightmare.

Thank you again, I truly appreciate you.

Deep hurts in each scenario. Heart breaking that we humans can be so indifferent to the feelings of others sometimes. Beautifully written.

It is so hard sometimes to understand the extreme love and powerful hate that human beings are capable of. I tell you, when I wrote about Felicia I thought my heart would break. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and give her a home.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting, I appreciate it.
