A tall man opened the door with a shorter woman just behind him.
“Hi Brad, I’m Dylan, and this is my wife Brenda. Our boys are in the den playing Xbox if you want to join them. Can I get your bags for you?”
Brad realized for the first time that he didn’t have anything. He was wearing clothes from yesterday when he slept outside and didn’t even have a bookbag when he ran to catch the school bus that morning.
“I don’t have anything,” he said, embarrassed.
“No problem, you can borrow some stuff from our boys, and we’ll go pick up some clothes tomorrow.”
After tossing and turning in a twin-size bed all night, Brad was awake early; He was restless and ready to find out what Ms. Jessica was able to find out about his grandma.
Ms. Brenda was cooking breakfast for the two hungry teenagers, Christian and Matthew, who ate quickly before heading out the door toward a small truck and driving off to school.
“What am I doing today?” Brad asked Brenda
“Oh, Good morning, Brad,” Brenda said, noticing him in the doorway for the first time. “We have an appt this morning to get you some clothes and supplies, and then a meeting at your school to figure out some paperwork.”
Mr. Dylan joined the two of them for breakfast, and Brad was a little confused. This just felt weird. He never sat around a table and ate breakfast, maybe once or twice a year at dinner, if it was a holiday… but he thought these family meals were just something in movies. This place was weird.
After breakfast, Mr. Dylan left for work, and Brenda drove Brad to a small office-looking building.
“I thought we were going shopping,” Brad said. Brenda smiled, “We are.”
The sign that announced this place was called PS I Love You Ministries.
