Stopped at the post office to get my mail and met a new friend. Meet Preston. Preston is originally from Dallas, Texas. He has been traveling around the country for seven years. He calls himself a hobo. He is the same age as my oldest son, and has a red beard like my youngest son, and I felt myself going to that mother place. Preston assures me he calls his mom every day and makes sure to be home for the winter holidays. Preston is very cool. I gave him a lift to his next stop down the road. He promised me he’d stay safe, and reached over to give me a mother-son hug before he left the car.
He gave me permission to post this picture… π
Something to be said for that lifestyle. Itβs very freeing. π
He was totally happy with his life! π
Preston was my partner/common law husband and a truly wonderful human. He passed September 5th and our kids (dogs) and I miss him so much. I remember we found this article you posted in December of last year and he was so touched. I have shared this with his parents and It meant a lot to him. Thank you.
Oh Natalie! I’m so sorry to hear Preston is gone from this planet! I felt a real motherly connection to him. I’m so glad he got to see my post about him! I know he loved you. He was so happy to be returning to you! I’d like to find out more about Preston, if you wouldn’t mind sharing. My email is marinaterrell@gmail.com
