This biker called me by a name I haven\u2019t heard since I lost everything forty years ago. I was standing in the rain outside a fast food restaurant, digging through the trash for something to eat, when this massive man in a leather vest grabbed my shoulder and whispered, \u201cMr. Harrison? Is that you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody has called me Mr. Harrison in four decades. Not since I was a high school teacher. Not since I had a house and a wife and a purpose. Not since the world decided I wasn\u2019t worth remembering.I\u2019m seventy-three years old. I\u2019ve been homeless for eleven years. I own a rusted bicycle, a torn jacket, and a sleeping bag I found behind a church. That\u2019s everything. That\u2019s my whole life now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
