This might be a repeat I\'m not sure but its a special day.
I met Leslie on my 3rd day of doing street and it was just before Christmas 09.
I always go and visit when I\'m in the city but he has been absent from his usual spot for a couple of months. I was a little worried and sad that maybe he had been chased off by authorities.
He is the sweetest man and the occasions where we bump into each other have always been special. Once I found him praying around a corner. It was his birthday and he was thanking his lord for the gifts he was holding. It seems I shared him with many others. Other times I have found him in trouble and he is so stubborn that we have to negotiate.
You get to know the locals and another has told me that Leslie is gone and so is his beard and old clothes. He had some problems and he is working hard at managing them and appears to be winning.

You know when you miss someone and you see them everywhere, I think I\'ll be looking for him in the crowds for a long time.
