I was reading and our son tried to ask me something.
My husband stops him and goes:
“What’s in her hand?”
“A book.”
“What’s in my hand?”
“Nothing.”
“So who do you go talk to?”
The way I’ve never felt more supported in my life.
A father passing by his son's bedroom noticed the room unusually clean and saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, "Dad"...
With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.
"Dear, Dad. It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you.
I've been finding real passion with Stacy.
She is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing's, tattoos, her tight motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.
But it's not only the passion, Dad. She's pregnant.
Stacy said that we will be very happy.
She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.
We share a dream of having many more children.
Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that these things don't really hurt anyone.
Don't worry Dad, I'm 16, and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren.
Love, your son, Josh
P.S . Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report card that's on the kitchen table.
Call when it is safe for me to come home.
"This homeless man just walked into Roosters, sat down and ordered a Coke. The waitress asked if he wanted anything to eat, and he said 'sorry I have money for only a coke and a dollar tip for you.' Before the waitress could jump in and offer him food on her, a little boy from a nearby table came and sat down. He talked to the old guy, asked him how he was. Then grabbed the menu and said 'I have money. So pick something to eat and I will buy it for you.' The man refused cause he didn't want to seem helpless. That's when the server jumped in and also said 'sir I will buy you anything you want as well.' They both pleaded to the man for 5 minutes before he agreed to get a small order of wings. The point? America that we know and love isn't dead. There is still positiveness and kindness in this world."

I was in the checkout line. The man in front of me was buying diapers, baby formula, and frozen pizzas. He looked exhausted. He swiped his card. Declined. He tried again. Declined. He looked at the cashier, panic rising. "I get paid Friday. I just... the baby needs..." He started to take the pizzas off. "Just the diapers and formula, please." I stepped forward and swiped my card before he could stop me. "Sir, you dropped this," I said. "I didn't drop a credit card," he said. "No," I smiled. "You dropped your faith in a good day. Let me pick it up for you." He tried to argue. I just shook my head. "Go feed that baby." He walked out, stunned. The cashier looked at me. "That was $80." "I spent $80 on drinks last weekend and don't remember half of it," I told her. "I'll remember this for the rest of my life."
