Man has heartfelt encounter with homeless man while driving around town
A man was driving his late father’s truck when a homeless man approached him, and the two talked.
In a lengthy Facebook post a few weeks ago, JH Cavazos, the driver, then offered to buy the man food. The incident unfolded near Brownsville, Texas, after Cavazos said he couldn’t sleep.
The truck had a laminated copy of his father’s funeral prayer card with a photo of the family at the ceremony. He then did a routine check-up on his family’s properties.
He wrote (sic):
“Last night between midnight and 1am, I could not sleep. I decided to get up out of bed, get dressed and drive around to check on our families vacant lots and rental properties around Brownsville Olmito and Rancho Viejo. I usually do this 3 to 4 times a week. Tonight, was different... for it was well after midnight, a little cold, very windy and beginning to rain. Nonetheless I decided to head out. For some reason, I chose to take my recently deceased fathers GMC pickup truck out for the night drive. On the visor of his truck (as well as all of my other vehicles) I keep a laminated copy of his photograph that is embedded onto one of the many laminated prayer cards given to us by the funeral home. I pulled it off the visor and looked at it as I started up his pickup. I said ”Hi Dad, I’m taking your truck out for a drive tonight, I really miss you....”
