on the outside looking in

I recently went to a recital event with my family. at the end of the event someone started talking about: how our group pulls together; how loving our group is; how wonderful the people are; how we're building a community. The lady speaking is genuine, kind and lovely. instead of feeling a "part of" I began to feel "apart from." I sat there and looked around. I truly believe that if these in this room full of 250 people maybe one of them, one specific child would search me out beside my own child of course. I'm not sure why I'm not a part of this group. I've tried to give. I've tried to receive. I've been as gracious as I could be. I've been kind. Yet I'm still way on the outside. We see other families join and instantly be taken in. We've been coming on & off for 8 or 9 years.

It's a Hard Knock Life

I have a friend who has found herself homeless at 53 years old. She has multiple health issues. She has the amazing superpower of always being hired. She has made her way through life with a variety of professions. She most recently lost a job as a server. She disappeared. She had lost consciousness and found herself in the hospital with none of her belongings except her social security card and driver's license that she had tucked in her bosom.

Locally, many shelters are geared toward men or families. Many shelters turn away those with health issues. Many shelters are for those with addiction issues. If you are clean, you are not welcomed.

She became homeless on a Saturday morning. Shelters each have their own admission policies: call each morning between 6 & 6:30am to see if there will be space; get to the shelter before 7am on Tuesday morning; all admissions are on Thursdays. Some said they had wait lists, one as long as 6 months. She couldn't find one anywhere on a weekend. She doesn't have a phone.

It's bad enough she has co-morbidity health concerns, this is too much.
