luvspitbulls's blog: "unconditional"

Great news from the world of david and waldo. david is out of the hospital and working, he loves his job and is adjusting to life off the streets. almost 30 years homeless , it is a lot to get used to. those of you who have followed the story from the beginning know what we did to make all of this happen for him and his furry friend. to see him succeed and strive to do what he is doing fills me with great joy. it isnt very often in life that you get to be a part of changing someones life in a positive way. for that i am very thankful , i never thought of myself as someone who could change my own life , never mind someone else's. it gives me great satisfaction to have been apart of the wonderful group of people that changed their lives. it has been hard for david to live with other veterans, he has been alone for most of the last 30 years, until getting waldo last year from a shelter. you never know the story behind the "guy" on the corner with his sign asking for work, food, or anything else. so many of us just walk by and never give it a second thought, thinking to ourselves "get a fucking job you bum". i know i was one of those people ! my experience has opened my mind to things i never even thought about, for example, how can someone who lives on the street, without the ability to shower, shave, wash their clothes  just walk in to a place and ask about a job? most of them are like i was not so long ago. "get out of here" or they simply laugh and think to themselves "yeah right, im gonna hire you : . not for one moment thinking that the person may be a veteran of war and down on their luck, after all , what does this govt. do for the men and women who are willing to lay down their lives so that "WE" can live ours ? they dont do shit, thats what they do. they bring them home, either in a body bag or maimed or with P T S D  and throw them to the wolves, for lack of better words. to me that is just DISGUSTING !!! how can our own govt. not care about those who have gone off to fight THEIR war ? this country is in some serious disillusion when we dont even take care of our own , yet we send money everywhere else to help them. what ever happened to self preservation for our own god damn country?  i am so glad that i met david and waldo, for it has given me a look into another world within this country that most people do not even know exists. i hope that by you reading my blog right now that i have opened your eyes a little bit, as mine have been opened over the last few months. if i wouldn't have done what i did and the others had simply turned their heads and looked the other way, where would david and waldo be today ?  jst something to think about. if you would like to follow david and waldo's story you are welcome to come join the community on face book.  here is the link if you are interested    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Waldo-and-David/245116588906461
