Thursday

Greg was talking in education yesterday, about the five calender years (five *straight* years!) he was homeless.  He was talking about all the people he had known when he was using that helped him get sober, even if it didn't seem like it at the time (like the police or judges). One person he mentioned never thanking was a woman who, every Thursday, walked by where he was sleeping and left a bag of McDonald's for him. Every week, every Thursday. He doesn't know who she was, he never talked to her. Every Thursday. That kills me.

He's sober now, and spreading out, carrying the message farther to people who need it. Especially on Thursdays.
