I Love You and I Also Love Fruit

Streets of Cape Town, South Africa (day 18)

We were at our final stop for the night. Me and some of the girls I live with were handing out the last of the sausage rolls and banana's. Street feeding was over for the evening. We were saying goodbye to the homeless people that we have grown attached to over the last three weeks . John Wayne an elderly homeless man that is the height of a ten year old embraced me. He wept into my breast refusing to let me go. I could not understand him through the tears. Katie one of the girls I share a room with translated for me. "I Love You and I Also Love Fruit" he had cried.

Goodbye John Wayne I will see you next week. We will be sure to bring some fruit.
