If someone does happen to see him, the easiest thing I can summarize is through this note:
Dear sir,
You do not know me, but on Saturday, December 12th, I saw you with your friend trying to gather your flowers to cross the street from the Mirage to Harrah's. I felt compelled to give something, but was with a coworker. I happened to see you at the crosswalk about to leave and decided to stop you. You will have to excuse me, but I probably slept no more than 16 hours in the past four days. I took out $2 expecting for a single rose, but saw something bigger that caught my eye. I asked you how much for the bigger heart with three roses, and you told me nothing and that you were just accepting donations. For some reason all I could say was, "Can I take this one," followed by "Good luck," rather than give you more. I wanted to let you know that my $2 was not an indication of your worth, but rather bad hindsight on my part (Vegas does that to people I suppose). You're worth so much more than what I gave you.
I really didn't want this to be long, but I once gave religiously that I somehow became cold hearted towards it. My husband asked that for Xmas I give to others. I felt rather forced, but not with you. I wanted to apologize yet thank you for reminding me of my own humanity and why I used to give. Please have a Merry Xmas and from the bottom of my heart I pray that you may have joy, peace and love regardless of your current or past situation.
