I use all caps judiciously, so you will understand when I say this kid was FREAKING OUT! If there was a story behind it, I was interested. I am not being modest when I say it was more curiosity than kindness. Don't offer too much credit. He did not have autism, by the way. I realize the story implies that, but he doesn't. The cause of the fuss ended up being irrelevant, when I thought about it.

How kind of you to approach that woman and offer your help. I’d bet she appreciated that more than you’ll ever know.

Thank you, also, for your “Everyone’s life is harder than it looks” post. Amen to that. Your reminder to handle it with grace is much needed.

I promise to keep this in mind when I see a woman having a difficult day. You are right, everyone has a bad day and grace can be found in the hearts of many.

Golly, thanks! I meet moms every once in a while that make me feel like I’m not doing enough. I met one today, actually. But I try to remember that I’m doing my very best at a difficult job. Thanks for calling me magnificent, the feeling is mutual.

A lot of mothers have a strength they didn’t know they had. People can handle a lot more than they think they can. I look back at my early years with my kids and wonder how I made it through. But I did, with most of my sanity I think. It’s like giving birth, when you look back you think, well maybe that wasn’t as bad as I thought. Memory is a funny thing.
Congrats to all the mom’s out there, doing more than they should every day
