Doing the right thing...

A young boy that lived next store to me lost his single mother suddenly.  It was awful for him.  I went over and found a place for him to live and a job.

I didn't realize how damaged he was from the whole ordeal, and a friend took him into her house for free.  We tagged teamed helping him.  I was out eating and I met a man and told him the story and he said have him call me.  He gave him a job immediately.

I woke up early every day and drove him 20 minutes in the opposite direction to work and picked him up at night.  He was doing so well.

And then my friend went on vacation, and his girlfriend broke up with him.  The lost was to much he suffered a mental breakdown.

He trashed the room she gave him to live in and lost his job.  He eventually got the help he needed and called me one day to see if I could arrange a meeting with my friend that took him in.  I put together a dinner at a restaurant just like he requested.

During the day I was so excited to see him again, and hear about all the good things he's been doing.  I never really gamble, but I bought a scratch ticket and I won $100.  I thought - Julisa his mother made sure I won!  LOL  I wonder if he really has the money for tonight's dinner, well it doesn't matter because now I do!

As I picked him up, he told me he didn't really have the money for dinner, and I smiled at him with a big smile, and I said you're Mother made sure I did.  I won $100 today!  I knew it was for you!  I just knew it!

We all met, and the tears of apologies were so beautiful to see.   We were like his two adopted Mom's and we were so happy to hear all the stories.   We all hugged and had a wonderful dinner.    Thank you Julisa..  I love and miss you!
