To Have or To Be

[H2O Man]

8. Thanks.

We will be seeing a young lady who used to live in our home, seven years ago. She had been homeless -- her mother was in prison, and her Dad had died. She had dropped out of high school, and was living on the street. We found her camping out in our tent, out in a field behind our house, and invited her to inhabit our humble home.

She got her high school diploma, driver's license, a job, and a bank account. We then helped her get into college. There were, of course, some pretty rough times .....but everything is as difficult as it is important.

She moved down here, to be closer to her aunt and cousins. We've kept in touch, but haven't seen her for all these years. She was a bit surprised when we called her, to say that we've stopped down for her birthday. (smile)

She is doing very well for herself. I think she is an example of someone who listened to me!
