Hugs for the Homeless

Yesterday I walked out of the grocery store while it was raining. As per usual, there was a lady asking if I had any spare change. I did. I gave it to her and asked how she was. she replied, "well I"m getting wet," as it was raining. I, brilliantly, asked if she was excited that christmas was around the corner. (At this point I was wishing I had a taco to give her for that insensitive comment. I don't mean to stereotype, but I am confident that the homeless don't go all out when celebrating the birth of Christ)
She said she was excited and then saw my sheepish expression. "Give me a hug," she said.
It was a great hug!
