Angela, 28, was radiant with her warm smile, elegant presence, and glowing skin had always made her the pride of her community. She had a degree, a steady marketing job, and a future most envied. Yet despite her success, love had always eluded her.<\/p>\n
Then came Malick.<\/strong><\/h2>\n
In his late thirties, with a scruffy beard, worn clothes, and a limp, Malick looked every bit the homeless man people assumed he was. He smelled unkempt, his appearance disheveled, but behind his tired eyes was a gentleness that drew Angela in. They met at a soup kitchen where she volunteered. While others neglected him, she spotted his kindness, his humor, his heart. A friendship bloomed, then love.<\/p>\n
Her friends were amazed. \u201cAngela, really? He\u2019s homeless. He has nothing to offer you,\u201d her best friend Kendra insisted. Her mother, Gloria, was no kinder: \u201cHoney, don\u2019t throw away your future on a man who can\u2019t even buy a clean shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Angela refused to waver. She believed in Malick.<\/p>\n
