I was so drunk on Friday night, all alone and scratched up. My head was in a far away place, I could have easily been taken advantage of if it weren’t for the kind people walking their wee little dog and picking me up off of the sidewalk.
You led me into your house and bandaged me up, most likely I was blabbering and you put up with that too. We had never met before but you treated me like you would treat a close friend, patiently and gently. Thank you for walking me home later too, you two will be in my memory forever. I can remember falling and smacking my face on the pavement, but I can’t remember what you two looked like or I would have tracked you down to give you my sincere and grateful thank you. THANK YOU! —Thank You Saviours of a Messed Up Night
