I hope he is getting some basic care but it sounds like he does not have a good support system. I have such empathy for people whose lives have collapsed into illness and poverty. The way the economy is going I fear that many more people will be slipping into his situation. SOunds like this nun was a lifeline of sorts. ANd I must say, I think he may have been on to something. The thought of you playing a nun is severely smile-inducing!! Dave Liz, that is a sad story. I hope he is getting some basic care but it sounds like he does not have a good support system.

The whole time I'm reading this, I'm thinking, OMG, he killed the nun, he killed the nun. I must say that this whole scenario, with your part included, would make a fascinating show or book! With the mystery being did the crazy man kill the nun and is trying to work out his guilt by twisting it into a story where someone ELSE commits the crime, or is he really just a crazy old dude that was touched by this nun's love and wants to do right by her before he dies? Seriously. There's a fab, possibly heartwarming possibly shocking and sad, definitely mysterious and possibly gripping tale in that. I think you should call him. Oh, but I guess that might require you hanging your head out the window and yelling into the alley. He probably wouldn't hear you. Plus: crazy dude. Maybe you should just write the whole story yourself. Holy crap, that is INTENSE. The whole time I’m reading this, I’m thinking, OMG, he killed the nun, he killed the nun.
