Joseph

I hadn't seen Joseph in 6 months. I'd shot video of him. We spent a couple of afternoons roaming around downtown taking pictures with my med. format Seagull. Then last summer, the movie, I stopped volunteering at the homeless center on Wednesdays. I came back in August, asked about Joseph. No one had seen him.
I'm more or less back to my regular Wednesday shift now and I've been looking for Joseph since I came back. There was a lot to worry about. His health isn't great. He gets sad and checks out sometimes. He has few resources.
Last Wednesday, I told another volunteer that if he walked through the door it would make my Christmas. Within 20 minutes he did just that.
He's gained weight, which is good. He's still painting, which is very good.
He's okay.
