He did it again. He woke us up today, with breath in our body and strength in our limbs.
Just type Amen if you believe God is the reason why you’re awake today
I got my period halfway through a 10-hour shift.
Checked my bag. Nothing.
Asked a few girls if they had a spare pad. Nobody did.
I was already planning which hoodie to tie around my waist when one of the guys on my team overheard.
He disappeared.
15 minutes later he came back with a pharmacy bag.
“My sister said these are the right ones. If not, blame her.”
Inside:
• pads
• chocolate
• painkillers
• a bottle of water
I offered to pay him back.
He looked genuinely confused.
“For what? It’s a medical situation, not a business transaction.”
Then he walked away.
The internet keeps telling me decent men are extinct.
Meanwhile this guy treated my period like an emergency supply mission and recruited his sister as a consultant. 😭
