So ironic today. I read an article about a football player turning down a new contract to go to school. It was very moving how this young man and his wife had taken in a homeless woman and helped her get back on her feet. When I am talking to my kids trying to decide what to do tonight for the birthday boy, I get a message from a former co- worker/ friend I had lost touch with. She has lost her house, is now homeless, basically lost her kids and her family is using tough love to deal with her. She wants to know if she can come and talk.
I say she can spend the night. I take her to dinner with us. I am trying to think how I can help her when she gets in touch with her on again off again boyfriend who takes her to pick up her clothes. She hasn't come back yet but I need to go to bed. She has my number, so she can call me. My head is swimming. How did things get so bad for her? How can I help her get back on track? Do I need to step back and let her figure that out?
