Swtrose You know it really is sad that people actually do fall for them. I don't know how people can be so gullible. I do admit I have been burnt a couple of times falling for things, but never anything this huge.

Swtrose Wow, well I hope that your brother gets the treatment that he needs. There is such a thing as tough love and maybe this will awaken him to the fact that he does have a problem. It must be very hard for you to sit by and watch this. I'll be praying.

Swtrose I would have taken her hand. I most likely would have offer to help her into the cab too. Things like diseases would have never crossed my mind. She was reaching out and I would have offered my hand.
