Events and Paths

Its Friday!! How I love a Friday :) It has been a busy week with some travel in the mix. Flying to the east coast to get some business done and back to the grind. I always bitch about flying but in general its the sacrifice I make to get to work from home. I feel like Brayden is totally off schedule and his dad does the best he can with the support from his mom to make sure Brayden is good. I don't know what I would do without both of them in my life. Its hard raising a child and being in a demanding job where you have to leave your life days at a time once or twice a month, but its the path I chose and its amazing. Rough, challenging, lonely, exhausting, but amazing!

Yesterday I was in the store and this woman in front of me was short .98 cents. Seriously less than a dollar. I never have cash on me, but I actually had 2 dollar bills in my wallet.. I have no idea why. Anyway I gave the woman the dollar because she needed it. She was embarrassed, I didn't mean to embarrass her I was just doing what I hope any person would do in that situation. I've done it before, and it's about paying it forward right? Well she looked at me and started to cry, she said thank you so much, I will pay it forward too. She walked up to me and held my hand and said. My son just passed away a few days ago and I'm really out of sorts. Your kindness is something I needed right now. She told me to hold on to my son, and just keep loving him.... Yes, I was tearing up. Brayden of course did his loving thing, and she was able to get what she needed and left. It was emotional.

I was so moved because its was less than a dollar, but she needed the kindness and caring more than that dollar. That to me was so impactful. It just makes you think that the events and the paths that are put in front of you all mean something. She was short a dollar because she needed someone to show her that compassion and love. There I was along with lovey Brayden to give her that, even if it was only for a minute.

Have an amazing weekend!!
