My kids are convinced that the homeless guy we see walking on the streets each day lives in the park behind our house. (This particular park has a row of trees that would provide the perfect shelter for the hobo).Tonight, they asked if we could all run down to the park and play for a bit. So off we went to the park with the ‘forest’ full of giving trees.
Once we arrived at the park … my daughter (who is 6) said: “Be careful Mom the hobo lives down here and we don’t know if he’s home!”
It was freezing and getting dark – I walked down to the trees to round everyone up for the walk home. My son Kaleb shouted:“Mom, come see what we built!”
There in the little forest in the park behind our house, was a house (made out of an old tree and some boards they found) for the homeless stranger. My kids informed me that he would now have a nice place to spend Valentine’s Eve.
Happy Valentines Day! ... And homeless guy if you do happen to stop at the park tonight for a place to sleep - feel free to use the little house built by my kids!! :)
Thanks Kade, Kaleb, Colby and Lauren for reminding me that Love makes the world go round ...

Those are definitely thoughtful kids. I probly would've avoided that park at all costs when I was younger
Barbaloot - Hi! I was really touched by their desire to help the Homeless guy have a special Valentine's Day. I don't believe he really lives at this park - but my kids like to think he has a HOME and this is the best place they can imgaine for him :) ... It was a great moment - I love children and their ability to share love!!
