Dear man from the Road,

You are the most selfless person I’ve ever known. It is so refreshing and inspiring to hear for a change. I know this isn’t true, but it seems like everyone today cares only for themselves and what they can get out of this life. You inspire me to go beyond my life, and reach out to others. You constantly put your son first, even before your own desires. All of your devotion goes faithfully to your son, and him alone. You comfort him when you most certainly can’t feel at ease yourself. You feed him, keep him safe, protect him, instruct him, and ensure he’s warm even when you aren’t. It seems you can’t ever be weak, and make it sound so easy being strong for him. Yet through this valiant and fearless side of you, there is a sensitive side that yearns to bring a peace and reassurance to the child. It’s almost as if the child has given you a reason to live. I’m glad that you have him. You said once, "When he woke in the woods in the dark and the cold of the night he'd reach out and touch the child sleeping beside him" Everything you do, seems to be done out of selflessness. I hope to one day live my life with that same kind of compassion and self-sacrificing love that you do.
