LET ME PULL YOUR COAT: THE UNFILTERED WORLD OF MASTER SILK

I FOUND THIS ON SILKS' WIFES' PAGE....AWESOME

This may take a minute but I have to tell SOMEBODY before I explode. Here goes:
Last week I wanted stir fry from scratch. My husband is a Master at stir fry, I think.
We went to an Oriental shop next to the Walmart we shop at. We parked next to an old pick up truck. Inside was a woman in the passengers seat and 2 very dirty children, one maybe 2 years old and the other less than a year old.
From what I could see, clothes and stuff cluttered the pick up trucks' interior.
As we walked towards the entrance, there was a man to the left of the door begging for money.
My husband struck up a conversation with him as he told what got him into this situation. (Not my story to tell).
My husband asked why does he need money. He said to feed his family and to buy necessities for his wife and kids.
My husband asked where were they and the man pointed to the pick up we parked next to.
My husband asked, where are you staying? He didn't answer and started crying, so my husband asked are you sleeping in your vehicle, again he said yes, with tears streaming down his face.
My husband told him to go get his wife and kids.
He said, why, very forcefully but not being mean, my husband said again, go and get them.
Very long story short, my husband took this man and his family into Walmart and told them to go and get what they needed.
One cart was full of diapers, wet wipes and child necessities and the other was filled with breakfast bars, lunch meat, bread, water, sodas, etc. .
My husband paid and went outside and told them to follow us.
We went to a nearby motel and got them a room with a kitchenette where my husband paid for 3 nights for the family.
They both started to cry, even harder.
After helping them take in their necessities, we hugged them and said our good byes.
Before we left the wife asked my husband, who are you, what's your name?
My husband never turned around to look at her, he just looked over his shoulder and simply said, I'm nobody.
And we left.
Never did get my stir fry, but I am so full of the love, joy and happiness.
