This LPT speaks to me today in particular . what good timing . My birthday is in a few days and my whole life , thanksgiving time has always been associated with such warmth and love . I ' ll be without my family this holiday season , in the middle of a bad split with my fianc , trying to get packed up and figuring out where I ' m going to live . This thanksgiving day , walking in to our now just his apartment , a homeless man looked me in the eyes and said you have a happy thanksgiving . The sudden humanity in my life made me turn my head . I hope he knew how that made me feel , I have a feeling he knew I needed to hear that . Edit you precious people are restoring my faith in humanity . I ' m suddenly elated ! Your kind words are turning out to be the best birthday gift I could ask for .
