It was never the intention to stop...
She worked in Manhattan as a successful advertising sales representative. He was an eleven-year-old street panhandler who was homeless. She continued going while he begged for more change. However, she was abruptly halted and turned around by something. And she went back, again and time again. For years, they got together virtually every week and forged an unanticipated, profoundly transformative connection that has endured for over thirty years.
It is evident that whatever it was that first attracted my attention to him on that corner so many years ago, despite all the odds against it, is unstoppable. As some could say, spirit. Call it heart, if you will. I felt drawn to him by it, like there was an unseen thread connecting us. And it still ties us together, whatever it is.
