Dilemma with the Homeless

This evening I was walking to my car from the pool and all of the sudden, a homeless person began to sign to me - "you have money, money food for burger". It was unexpected. I responded immediately in sign language, "Sorry, I cannot help you" in sudden fear and walked away quickly. He was surprised and so was I.

Now, is something wrong here? What have I done? I have always said homelessness, diseases and violence makes me angry. But I walked away from this situation. What if he grabbed my backpack, what if he grabbed my wallet? What would happen if I stayed and chat to give him money? Will that make a difference? I want to be able to make a difference. Was it because he's Deaf and I feel bad? Would I react differently if it was just another homeless person approaching me? Am I a thoughtless person? What would you have done in this situation?

Rain on my parade...

There is absolutely nothing like a rainy day with a baby... Poor baby, he was bored out of his mind in this rain. All I can do is to try and entertain him, feed him, and then wanting to strangle him (but surely, I do not do that). There will be days when he gets older and will be saying to me, "Daddy, I'm bored!" But hey, this has already started!!

Yes, it has been more than a week since my last entry - and I am sorry about that. The nasty bug of gastro entered in our lives. HerMineLee's family was here and everyone got it including HerMineLee. The family is still on the mend, hopefully by the end of this weekend - everyone will start to feel 100% (knock-on-wood for me, too 'cause I still haven't got it yet).

Whatever happened to Spring?? The first day of Spring was absolutely gorgeous - like Summer back home in Detroit, Michigan - wow! Then by the end of this week, it's all gone back to wintery weather. Yick!!
