"I learned to GIVE not because I have much but because I know exactly how it feels to have NOTHING."
I can't judge you for I do not know you but when I seen you making kids on the street smile, I told to myself, "He is a good man!" Don't know if you are rich to give the kids some and let others keep the change but I know you don't need to be rich to do that and you just love to do it even you are broke. It makes you feel good right?
You think we first met you in burger machine while you are waiting for the other friend of yours? No. I've seen you few times before hand. And I even look for you many times before that day. Did you know how I wish there's other foreigner in our place? Someone who speak English? Someone my husband could talked to, hang out with for I was pregnant that time.
So we are always in the fountain park, place I first saw you. Kids gathered around you. They even start talking in English. They tried. They all laughing. I just can see from a distance. It was a beautiful sight. Then you go and they see my husband and they gathered around him too. I asked you to a wee girl coz it looks like you know her long time. You even give her money. She said you are so kind. I even ask her if she sees you again tell we want to meet you. That wee girl sleeps on the street infront of 7-11 convenience store with her father who collects bottle to sell. My husband like you always help others. One night hoping to see you I ask the wee girl where you live and maybe I could see you. We walk not far from the park and she point on your house but no sight of you. Then seen you in Burger Machine I was excited you know. I got to know you more than a kind man. You are from Nigeria, you live alone in the Philippines, you work in call center that time you even give your number so you can hangout with my husband sometime.And I said finally! But that's the last time I've seen you. We lost your number resetting the phone. You moved near your workplace. That's 2015 if Im right.
Then one night at Steemit Meet Up last August 5, 2017. I attend and came late. You were the one speaking in the mic giving a talk sharing your knowledge and I can't take my eyes of you coz I think I know you. Is it him? Is it him? I didn't come to ask you. I didn't have the nerve to do so when the one talking is a "witness." Maybe I just mistaken you. Maybe you just look like him. I take picture of you so I can show my husband. He said that looks you and told me I should approached you when I saw you so to confirmed. But I did not.
Then one day you suddenly comment on my post! It's not your comment or the $ you brought to my post but you! It's you i want to know so I ask you if you are Terry who lives in Pandacan that goes to fountain before. You not reply fast enough I keep checking for your reply! And when you say yes. Oh my! Like Really??? Seriously??? After all this years I will seen you here at Steemit! Wow! Just wow! I'm so happy that time. So happy Terry. I don't know why. You know I don't know you well but Im happy I meet you once again.
You are a witness here but I'm the real witness of your kindness of your good heart. I've seen your lonely eyes before but you always smile the brightest and look grateful. Knowing you living alone before makes me sad coz I know the feeling. But seeing you in the Steemit Meet up and your with your sisters makes me feel happy for you.
The little thing things I know about you is the biggest thing I know..
To you Terry aka
may your good heart bring happiness to you and to everyone around you. I wish you happiness coz I believe behind that smile is also tears in your eyes that maybe no one knows. But I let you know you are loved by many aside from your mama and pupsy . That includes me.
Can we hang out when we come back there? Maybe I'm here in Steemit earlier if we keep in touched before. ☺
Hugs and kisses. XOXO..
From someone who knows little about you.
