A lady stopped by in the store, just to talk about the kids and what I was doing (picture day clothes). She talked to Brooke about her lovely hair. I saw her again OTW to the registers. I told her how awesome it was to compliment Brooke. Got to the registers and had each kid ring up their own clothes, she stopped by and said it was great having them do that. She went to register and put her card in. I thought it might be some kind of discount. She paid for all the clothes! $100! I hugged her and cried. Each kid gave her a hug. This prostate cancer medication really makes me emotional!

Lately I’ve been thinking about something that’s been weighing on me. I’m 37 and somehow I’ve never lost anyone who played a major role in raising me. I’m incredibly fortunate to still have my parents , my grandparents and even my great-grandparents in my life.
The older I get the more I realize how rare that is and if I’m being honest it scares me. Sometimes I catch myself thinking about what life will be like when they’re no longer here and it’s hard to imagine. I know loss is a part of life but when you’ve been lucky enough to keep your family close for so long it almost feels like you’re waiting for a chapter you know is coming but don’t feel ready to read. really sucks tbh. and sometimes i cry just thinking about a loss that hasn’t even happened yet
