And I was like, just one moment.
And I thought it was going to be the most joyous moment.
But my father was angry because he felt humiliated.
He looked at it as charity and said, we don't accept that.
Long story short, the man said, I'm the delivery guy and my dad had to take the food.
And that day changed my life because my father left shortly thereafter and I really loved him.
He's the one who adopted me and I carry his name.
But it also, our life is determined, I think, by the meanings we give to things.
You know, is this the end or the beginning?
Is this person dissing me?
Are they coaching me?
Are they loving on me?
Whatever you decide controls your life.
And I was fortunate enough at that point that I came up with a different meaning.
We grew up in an environment I thought was a wealthy community.
It was very low middle class, to say the least.
And we were on the other side of the railroad tracks and it looked like nobody cared.
And nobody, my father kept saying, no one cares about anybody else.
But this was new evidence for me.
It was like, if a stranger who doesn't even want credit is delivering my family Thanksgiving dinner, then strangers do care.
