I’ll never forget this birthday party.

My husband had just been released from the ICU after an intense surgery. He couldn’t walk or breathe without significant support. We begged the nurses to take him outside on the patio. We only stayed for a few minutes, because of their hectic schedules. It was barely long enough to sing, “happy birthday,” and cheer as our newly minted three-year-old blew out his candles.

The scene from this picture breaks my heart in pieces.

Oh, how I wanted to give our son the best possible childhood! I would have loved to plan a big party for all his friends and neighbors. We could have had games, decorations, food, and party favors. He could have picked a superhero theme or a dinosaur theme or the characters from that TV show he loved so much.

But instead, we got this.

I felt so disappointed. His only friend was the nurse he met earlier that morning. There were no other children in sight. There were oxygen tanks instead of balloons and heart monitors instead of bounce houses. We were 1200 miles from home, and after those few minutes, we went back to being trapped in the confines of the hospital.

But do you know what our son thought of that birthday?

He called it, “the best day ever.”

For months, he talked about how much he loved his birthday. He raved about how his grandparents came to visit in the hospital and brought him presents of coloring books and toys. He talked about how fun it was being together and having Dad come outside to sing and watch him blow out the candles. He felt super cool when nurses and doctors came by, wished him a happy birthday, and asked how old he was. And he got to eat as much cake as he wanted.

He didn’t care that it wasn’t elaborate.

He didn’t see that our lives were falling apart.

He only cared that we were together.

He only saw that we loved him.

I think of that sweet three-year-old perspective often. Too often, things don’t go how we would like. Too often, our lives are strides away from ideal.

But when we notice the things that we do have, we end up with a lot of “best days ever” that we otherwise might have missed.

Of course.

So, a Kansas school board unanimously voted to overturn a policy banning Native boys from wearing their hair long to school.

Should Native boys be allowed to wear their hair long to school?

I got my dog when I was just 19 years old and a single mother of 1.
I kept my dog.
I kept my dog even though I moved into an apartment and had to pay a $500 pet fee.
I kept my dog when my boyfriend and I broke up and he kept the apartment even though my new place didn't allow dogs.
I kept my dog when I ultimately had to move back in with my parents and she also was not allowed there.
I kept my dog when I had my second child. I kept my dog when his father put all of us through hell and none of us had anywhere to go.
I kept my dog when I had a penny to my name and we all ate nothing but buttered noodles for dinner.
Ten years later I STILL have my dog because she is the very start of the huge family that we now have.
Even though she's getting slow, eating less and turning grey I STILL HAVE MY DOG. I'm tired of hearing and reading about posts that say "getting rid of them because they don't like my new puppy" or "I want a new dog".
Commitment is commitment.

A man named Bill found a starving dog named River at a rest stop in Arkansas and decided to keep her in his car. The dog was covered in mud, blood, and ticks and had tapeworms, heartworms, and wounds on her neck and face. The family already had three rescue dogs and one rescue cat, and were happy to add another one to the pack. River refused to get out of the car, but eventually Bill carried her out and introduced her to her new siblings. She was housebroken and seemed to be settling in well with her new family. She ran around outside with her siblings but never strayed too far from her parents, slowly easing herself into her new life. River remained calm and sweet throughout it all, and her family loves watching her confidence grow with every new day. Please Send your love to River! 💚

A whole lot of people were saying we were going to be in a recession by now, and they got it very wrong.

President Biden's policies not only kept us from a recession, they've allowed the economy to THRIVE.

A whole lot of people owe our President an apology.

Pedophile sex trafficker Matt Gaetz is openly admitting that he’s worried about the possibility of going to jail for the crimes he boldly committed and he damn well should be. That’s where he and his fellow wretched fascists belong, not in our Congress.

Endangered elephants need our help. When calves are orphaned, they need round-the-clock Keeper care, milk on demand and a comforting presence. Adoptions help us provide this, saving the animals you love. Adopt an orphan today: https://t.co/MUz77i8HTe

We asked ALL Americans to temporarily wear masks, and get covid vaccinations for certain jobs, and men FREAKED THE FUCK OUT. "Freedom!" But they think forcing girls and women to have unwanted children, no matter the circumstances, is just fine? And some women are ok with this?

I just heard a rumor that the guys who had sex in the Senate chamber got more work done in 4 minutes than the Republicans in Congress did all year
