The Lunch Bunch Minus One

I am sad.

For a number of years a friend of mine has coordinated a weekly program that feeds the poor and homeless in the neighborhood. Every single homeless person for blocks and blocks in every direction knows her name. This is done as a ministry of a local church. The woman I speak of, my friend, has been having difficulties with the parish priest, and as a result will no longer be a part of this lunch bunch. The homeless will miss her. I will miss her.

I am sad.
