The little man spent a couple of hours working at Pat's house today. They were splitting and stacking wood. That allowed the little woman and I to run to Walmart and get a pair of shorts and a t-shirt for Mike when he is released.
When early evening rolled around I got a message from Jeremy. He starts his new job tomorrow and really needed some help getting proper attire rounded up. So we trekked on down to Sherwood and helped him out. It's hard for a young man to get a start if he can't show up for his first day wearing the right clothes. Here is hoping our small contribution got him on his way and his first day is really good.
After we got back I had a nice chat with his sister Brittany. She was thanking me for helping him. Ah shucks...it was just the right thing to do. Then we talked about their mom and I was sad. I knew there was some kind of mental illness there and now I know what. She commented on losing her mom to this and I got that. I can't help my friend, but I can give a hand to her son.
