Last week my life completely changed.
I lost my home and my job, and those people who were always with me left too, who used to care for me a lot.
I started sleeping on the footpath every night. I couldn't even fall asleep; I would wake up at every little sound.
One evening, I saw a dog that was very scared. I was eating, and when I threw him some food, he looked at me and then came closer.
The next day, he came back again.
After that, he kept coming back, and this time he sat next to me. Gradually, he started staying with me.
Now whenever I sleep, he comes and lies down next to me. Sometimes when it rains, he stands there until I take out some plastic. If someone comes near or he gets startled, he stands in front of me.
And the strangest thing is,
Whenever I sleep, he feels completely useless and looks at me as if I am his entire world.
Right now, I am still without a home.
I still don't have a roof over my head, but I am not alone.
Sometimes, to have company, you don't need a roof; you just need someone to be there. This time, he is always with me.
