And that is a similar conclusion I have come to, we did what we could for the woman and her son, but ultimately her situation was way beyond our ability to help and, as you said, a culmination of the things going wrong in her life. Our ability to positively affect her situation was minimal at best. The whole situation is rather surreal. We never did get her name. She never asked for ours. She just blew in like a storm and blew out again, as the turmoil in her life spilled over into ours. It was really only chance that brought her to our door, instead of a neighbors'. And what a chance she took, even in her short interactions with us! She left her son with us for almost 45 minutes, while she talked on my cell phone outside. How many places could she have safely done that? How many people would have let her?</blockquote>
