Larry King Live!
Today a guy named Larry King came into the office. He's an old veteran who is homeless and comes in every once in a while to get some food or other things he needs. He has a very touching story and has even been written about in the paper out here. He sustained some injuries from the war and isn't quite all there. He gets around $1,000 a month for having been in the war but gives it all to the home that his wife lives in. He basically chooses to remain homeless so his wife can get the care she needs. He's a very sweet man and it's stories like this that help me get through some of the hardships every day. For example, a 16 year old came in today looking for help so we sent him to a more appropriate program for his age group. This reinforced for me how lucky I have been in life and things like this that happen every day help me realize why I'm here for this year.

It's unbelievably inspiring that he does that. And that you're doing what you're doing, too.
