Thinking how it was so easy getting past those other security personal, and this one being so different. In fact I’ve been in and out so many times, most people think that I actually work there. So I thought that there is got to be a story here somewhere. And I watched. Every night that she worked I watched. And I started noticing things. Small things at first, That turned into bigger things later.

First I noticed, when she would walk people to their cars. How her face showed a real discomfort in the cold. And how quickly she would make it back inside. Then when those vans and trucks came in how hard it was for her to lock the gate back. (I know how hard it is to lock that gate. You have to hit that lock real hard to lock it.)

In fact, I had seen how some of the employees treated her. I had heard how three ladies blocked her way to do her key rounds. In fact one of them actually tried to provoke a fight with her. But she stayed her ground. And kept doing her job. She would even do work that maintenance should have done. (Spreading salt on the sidewalk.) She even was seen helping a driver unload a van. I’m sure she did these things on her own. I'd say a very professional employee.

I noticed that she seemed to be in pain. Especially when she went outside. Then I noticed the manor she took in her food. This got me to do some deep checking. This path took me to see a doctor friend of mine. I told this doctor what I had observed. And the doctor told me that she might have, T.M.J.
(TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION)

And the symptoms are, headaches, aching or stiff neck, aching or stiff shoulders, backaches, earaches, ear fullness, ringing in the ears, or pain associated with the ears, jaw pain, popping or clicking in the jaw joint, facial pain, numbness in the fingers and toes, vertigo dizziness, undiagnosable tooth pain.........

Now!
It appeared clear, When she walked all those people to there cars, and unlocked that gate, or doing her outside key rounds. She was in unbearable pain.

When she did her inside rounds. Going up the stairs gave her pain and dizziness. Going from the warm to the cold computer room gave her more pain. Then we might ask?

WHY DID SHE LIKE HER JOB?
AND FUNCTION THROUGH THIS PAIN?
When she received additional pain.

Because a few days before Christmas they let her go, with out explanation.. And now its plain to see the reason she was working, was to get her hospitalization and the money for the mounting bills to get this all corrected.

She appeared to be very independent, the type of person that wants to do it on her own with, no outside help. And to be let go just before the Christmas holiday.. With out an explanation.

I can only hope for. Wherever you are my friend, my heart and prayers are with you on this special time of year. And I know that some day you will get the help you truly need....God loves those that suffer in him ...

When I first met Robert I was working as
a auto repair shop manager.

He came in and asked for a job. And I told him
that we paid by the job. If a car came
in for repair he would get paid doing
that job. We had charged $25.00 per hour
so he would get $10.00 per hour worked.
And a lot of times we did not have much
work. Being that we were new in the city.

Robert would come in and check to see if
there was work for the day if not he
would just go back home. Robert and I
did build up a friendship with the
owner of the shop.We became a small family.

Then one day the Boss informed us that he
would be closing the shop. Robert went on
to work at another place. I was glad
that he found another job. As I also
did too.

It was a few years down the road that we
met again. This time when I stood
before the closed doors of the Public
Action to Deliver Shelter at the
Salvation Army Building. There he stood
at the door cold and drunk. I was just
cold and not sure that this is what I
wanted to do. After the doors opened
the warmth that came up the stairway
convinced me that this is where I would
stay the night. I signed in and set up my
pad and bedding. I got my things to
take a shower and got in line.

I then started to mingle with the
people. That’s when I re-introduced
myself To Robert. We sat at the table
talking and then two others joined in on
our talk. Robert was there in the
beginning of Trinity. But it was the
other two that became a major part at
that time.

The next morning we were awoken at
7:00am. We picked up our bedding and
pads and put them away. We washed our
pads and pillows and grabbed a cup of
coffee and rolls, ate drank and walked
out the door. I had taken the other two
guys with me to Mc Donald's for coffee
and to make plans to start Trinity (it
was not named at this time yet. But by
the time our coffee clutch was done
Trinity was born.

We went to a place called the wayside
Center at 9:00am. And I signed in
talked to the head of the center and
received a locker, A place to wash my
clothes and shower, also a place to get
phone messages and mail, a place that I
could use for these services.

Stores are closed,
As locks are turned,
With a click.

People gather,
Here and there,
Some are in prayer. Then homeward bound,
Some without a sound,
Slip into bed.

Covering and snuggle tight,
As warmth over comes,
To bid a sweet good night.

Sun Shining through the windows,
As frosted windows sweat,
The water stains the floor.

Up you arise,
To a great surprise,
The birth of a child,
A gift to the world,
A symbol of love.
