From Talladega Nights "I like to think of Jesus like a dirty old bum. He's comin' up to me, and I'm 'bout to sock him one, cause, you know, he's a dirty old bum, but then I say, "Wait a minute, there's something... I don't know, special about this guy."
Stop switching the focus and being so self-righteous about breast feeding. Babies need love and nourishment, and bottle feeding from a loving mother provides both, even if breast milk is what nature intended. Not all women can or want to breast feed, but they give their children what they "need" all the same. Comments like yours are just pure arrogance and judgement.
Obviously the homeless man has a decent background. Good judgement, not afraid to take charge, get the job done, and then get out. Not looking for praise, just doing the right thing. Hope the good he did comes around for him.
Find him. Put him on the ticket for November and he'll have my vote. Head and shoulders above the others. Could you imagine a politician following this example?
Indeed. Excellent observation that seems to have eluded many. We all deserve more than a meal and a place to sleep but that would be an excellent start for thousands who have been shut out of our culture (for various reasons of economics, health, circumstance).
I admire anyone who is assertive in an emergency, too. A fine trait. I hope he is able to maintain his privacy, though. Heaven help him if anyone finds out but if they do I have a request for the media to not ruin his life with preconceived notions about anything.
and why is that? Sometimes people get pregnant and decide that one unintended pregnancy should not necessarily dictate a marriage without love. Your post is judgmental. Many blessings on this family and on Mr. Wilson.
The story says she "was driving with her fiance", it doesn't say boyfriend, so they do intend to marry & not just live together - although there's really nothing wrong with that. Not every couple HAS to be married to provide for & love their children.
@ MARI1963 Why? Why is that important at all?! It does not matter if they are 'married' or not. What matters is that they provide a warm, loving, nurturing environment for their child to grow. Marriage does not ensure that. The pressures of society seems to foster the idea that only through marriage will a child be healthy, wealthy and wise. What a bunch of crap. I've been married for 27 years and my wife and I have two daughters. In that time I've come to realize that I would still be with my, significant other, whether we got married or not. I am not with her now because of a marriage vow, I am with her because of who she is. A marriage vow does not ensure happiness for you or your children. Everything I've read for several years now states that the divorce rate is hovering around 50%. With that in mind, I would say that the couple in the story has an even chance of successfully raising a child whether they get married or not.

This homeless guy sure was special.
and I agree, the guy's "home or no home" status is irrelevant. I think his home is planet earth.
