I pick up a man, right off the streets.
Let me explain.
About 3 months ago, I decided to go to my favorite flee market. I was walking towards the entrance gate when I spotted this man who look filthy. He was skin and bone and looked so very sad. I walked up to him, ready to give him some spare change. I asked him if he was feeling ok and he looked at me with the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen and replied that he was doing fine. I asked him if he would accept a few of my quarters and he said that he would.
We got into a deep conversation. (I will not share with you the personal things he told me about his life.) I asked him many questions and then I asked where he lived. He told me he was homeless. I asked him where he slept. He said he slept wherever he could, mostly under the freeway bridges. I asked him if he was hungry. He said yes.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me. I lead him towards my car and we drove off to my house.
I took him to my kitchen and fixed him a big breakfast. I really liked this man. Mickey and Jewely, my toy poodles liked him very much, too. I asked him how old he was and he told me he was 64 yrs old. I couldn’t believe it because he looked much older.
He’s been living with me ever since. I gave him one of my bedrooms and bought him some really nice cloths from my favorite second hand thrift shop.
I'm not afraid at night anymore, my house is immaculate, my yard is clean, all of my indoor and outdoor dogs are fed and bathed once a week, Porky and Honey Bunny are feed and cleaned and all my cats are fed. Laundry is washed and ironed and he CAN COOK! He minds his on business and I mind mine. He has gained a few pounds and looks much healthier. He is as happy as can be, and so am I. I call him "Abuelito", which means "Grandpa" He calls me "Mi Reina", which means "My Queen".
Yes, it’s really nice having a man around the house and what makes it even more magnificent is that there is absolutely NO SEX!
And here is the web page I've created with
pictures of this wonderful old man who so
abruptly came into my life:

Those are funny and cute names. Ahaha. :)
What are they? Bunnies?
And you did good, too, apparently!!
I do believe I hit the jackpot when I found this man!
I'm so glad to see you, I thought I'd lost you there for a while!
It can be great to have some help around the house and some companionship. Looks like the two of you have good relationship.
This man never stops, I have to get after him to stop working so much. Unlike myself, he's a perfectionist. Everything must be clean and in its place. I'm so lucky, soooo very lucky to have found him and brought him into my life.
I wonder what conditions lead to his being homeless, though I typically am curious about things regardless of whether or not I should be curious about them.
The homeless have their story, also, for those who are willing to take the time to ask and listen. They don't want to be homeless, but tragedy sometimes strikes and there's nothing they can do about it, unless someone is willing to try and help.
Some are illegally in this country, some are not. It really doesn't matter because the fact remains, that they are homeless and suffering.
It is truly comforting to know that people like you exist.
I do believe he's an angel, sent to me from God. I'm not afraid at night anymore, and he's the reason why most of those fear have vanished.
It also warms my heart to know for a fact that I hit the jackpot when I found him. He feels safe now, just as I do.
The eyes are the mirrors of the soul. When I looked into his eyes, I saw that this was a good, kind, desperate man. Now I can see that I was just as desperate as he was.

I had made a graphic for your Don Quixote de La Mancha site, right before my mom pasted away. I have it someplace and just as soon as I find it, I'll send it to you.
Hugs my friend!

Let me find it, I have about 10,000 different graphics of everything under the sun...Haaa!
Mickey
Wow, indeed!
Thanks nsingman and hugs!
Hugs!
Happiness always to you both.
We are both very much content with each other and we have each contributed to a need that we both had. I believe it's called unconditional love.
Sometimes we must take chances on people. I took a chance on my homeless man and it turned out to be a blessing for both of us. I needed someone in my life just as badly as he needed me. When I looked into his eyes, I saw that I was looking at a good man.
As for the bombs and all those horrors, I feel the same way you do, but this country must have its armed forces to protect it. ALWAYS. Because will always be those who will wish to do this country harm.
When I joined the Army, I had no other options. When I signed that paper, I knew exactly what would be expected of me and of the dangers I might face. In the end, it was the best thing I had ever done in my life. I will forever thank the United States Army for providing me a life where I can be independent and provide for my menial creature comforts. I own my own home, thanks to the Army and I can continue with school at no charge. Now as for me continuing my education, I am not doing it, but it's because of my own laziness.
I know exactly how you feel. I also wish that all that money would go into the homeless and the protection of our animals and creatures. Sadly, this is not so, therefore, we as people should take it upon ourselves to try to take in some poor unwanted animal, or some poor human-being who desperately needs our help because of some form of tragedy that they encountered once upon a time in their life which made them drown in a drop of water.
I'm not a super woman, I'm just a girl who has too many incredible hangups dew to tragedies that came to my life since a very early age. I had the Army to pull me out, and if it hadn't been for the Army, I know I would of also drowned in that drop of water.
They say we all have control of our own fate. This is untrue. We have no control whatsoever.
Also, thank you for being my LJ friend!
You are doing what we should all do in one way or another.
I can already see it is going to work. This man has already dug his way deep into my heart and I just can't imagine life without him. I know he feels the same way. It's an unconditional kind of love. We both feel safe because of each other.
I know you have done your part in trying to help your fellow man in someway or another. I can see you are that type of a man, a good man.
