Small & Big problems. Tonight a homeless man called for help, he walked out on the street, calling me, a desperate look in his eyes, not aware of the danger. “I need help”. He Could Hardly Walk. Another man told him to get off the street. I took my puppy inside and went to the street again. He was hit by a car and just released from the hospital. We held hands and walked to his shelter, walking as slowly and unstable as me the first 2 years after my accident. We talked about his life in London, why he lived in DK, about accidents and the game-change that we experienced, the physical issues we both have, and how hard it is to be helpless and not being able to manage daily tasks, or be on our own, do shopping or to take a bath alone - I remember, I really remember that first 5 years of constant struggle to even stand and sit, - and holding his hand, I felt his pain. He couldn’t feel his legs, moved them step by step with focus on his hips. He said he asked many people on the street for help - people ignored him, he said “how could they “ . He was sorry that he took my time, he tried to speed up, “its just around the corner I am so sorry, thank you”. He invited me in for coffee I passed, needed to get back to Rose and the puppy- my warm house late at night. I walked him to a sofa with his bag of bears, put one on the table ready for him, gave him money for food and will go visit him another day. Prayers for people in pain tonight. Prayers for them that burned bridges and have no where to live. Prayers That they will get the help they need and their family and friends will reach out and be the hands and legs that’s needed 🙏🏽 when in pain, we have open hands and open hearts - and we walk each other home, even if we don’t have a home. Remember to help the ones with the biggest problems, they need it ❣️ I have no idea if his story was true but his pain was real and his struggle was unbearable #homeless #pain #acidentes #help #holdingmyfriendspaininmyhand #weareone
