“Sarah Murphree does a masterful job in sharing the stories of 14 homeless people intertwining her personal story of having a mother with an untreated mental illness. You, like myself, will not look through the homeless people after reading this book. A must read for all ages!”

- Jean Kingery, author of The Crimson Thread

My Story

When Sarah was a senior in college her mother was diagnosed with a mental health condition. But what did it mean to be mentally ill? She wasn't sure. And nobody in her family would talk about it. Desperate to find answers, she began volunteering with the homeless community. What was supposed to be 3 months, turned into 2 years of her life as she embarked on a journey that would changer her life forever.

When the invitation says…

”Please only wear your sneakers, watch a screening in the Lakers gym, get ready to shoot some basketball, and the cast may just hang out with ya after, you look in the mirror and say okay self, get some caffeine, today we’re driving 90 minutes for this.

And what a night! Boy did @erickvlopez and I love this event, these people, and this show. Shout out to @netflix and the creators for this wonderfully comedic show. What a gift it was to laugh this much in one evening. ✨

In the midst of so much grief lately, we took the little black dog to the west coast. Then to the beach, not knowing what to expect.

He looked at the seagulls, sand, rocks, and the ocean in awe. He wasn’t just happy. He was a bundle of JOY! Then he began to jump the waves like a little human.

The water can be cold and choppy in California, but I no longer see it that way. Now I see it through the eyes of the little black dog. The ocean, isnt it magnificent. 🥹

For a long time, I’ve been away from social media. I had to be. So much grief. Too much grief. My grandma died. My dad died. I became power of attorney. I had to clear out my childhood home. Then I had a knee injury, that left me hardly able to walk this past year. It was then, I felt for certain I might die from a broken heart.

Then he showed up - the little boy black dog.

He appeared on my dad’s porch after I hurt my knees, and would not go away. He was covered in fleas. We took him inside and bathed him, and the smile on his face melted my heart. And he was smiling! (see photo)

I’ve had a handful of dogs growing up, but not quite like this one. He felt different, intentional. He constantly loved to rest his paw on my hand or my heart. He wouldn’t leave my side. His love was explosive.

Then I remembered…

The last thing I said to my dad before a sudden brain bleed destroyed most of his brain was about two puppies we’d gotten him. We were trying to decide which one to keep, and I said:

“Dad, I really want that little boy black dog.”

I don’t know how it works on the other side, but I know for certain my dad sent this dog to me. For he was not a big dog, a brown dog, or a girl dog. He was the very last sentence I would ever say to my father.

He was a little boy black dog.

While I slowly mend, I know for certain, I would not have survived immobility or my father’s death without this dog. This is “Kieto,” named after my dad’s nickname. He’s been with me through every season this past year, including trapped in a cabin in a winter storm, every sobbing grief breakdown, every knee pain relapse, and whenever I go to make a meal, if nobody’s home, he jumps in the chair across from me, making sure I never eat alone. He is the newest addition in the family, but most days I look at him in awe.

My sweet little boy black dog. 💚

And yes, I have returned to social media with a short story about a dog.
