I got him proper winter clothes, he thanked me profusely. He made it through that awful cold.

I talk to him every couple of weeks now, he wound up finding a way out of being homeless later and we ran into each other by chance in 2018 and we instantly recognized each other. He asked me what I was doing going downtown so often anyways. I told him I was seeing a psychiatrist. He asked me why, as he was seeing a psychiatrist also. We both have schizophrenia, go figure.
Yeah I think mental illness is common among the homeless.....I’m glad you got him some winter gear.....
