Let me talk about this picture for a second and tell you how much it means to me! When I was 5 years old I made this paper tie for my dad for Father’s Day. I worked so hard on it and was so proud. He told me that he would wear it on my wedding day and I giggled and went on with my day.
He hung it on his mirror in his room where it collected dust over the years and he would dust it off and again tell me “I will wear this at your wedding”. I was a teenager at this point and rolled my eyes and would say “okay dad!”
Fast forward to when my parents moved in to their new home. I no longer saw the tie hanging up on the mirror. I asked my dad what happened and he said it got lost in the move. I didn’t think anything of it until I got engaged. I jokingly said “well I guess you don’t get to wear that tie!”
2 years later it is my wedding night and as my father and I go to have our father daughter dance he pulls this bad boy out and we dance. He had hid it away to make me THINK it got lost in the move. I will cherish this moment for the rest of my life ❤️ love you dad!

I didn't even know she was struggling that day until I saw this picture. My youngest daughter was recently diagnosed with Autism. She functions fairly normal most days, but then there are others…
Yesterday the Wheatland Fire Authority paid a visit to the Wheatland Preschool at Wheatland Elementary and I wasn't sure how she would do, but I dropped her off as normal with hopes of it being fine.
There were new people in her regular environment asking kids to try this and do this which would be AWESOME to most kids - but for her it can be overwhelming.
This sweet man let her cuddle and relax right there on his lap for who knows how long because he could just tell she was having a hard time.
I was able to get this firefighters, info and message him. Come to find out he has an autistic family member, so he was able to relate and help calm her a bit.
As a parent, this kind of diagnosis can leave you wondering how each day is going to be. If someone is going to show her compassion, or judgement.
And yesterday, it was compassion. 💛

This is my dad setting up for my moms wedding. My parents have been divorced for 16 years and they still constantly help and support each other like this. They’ve done every Christmas morning together, traveled across the country, and attended countless competitions, games, and big life functions and events, for their children and grandchildren, together - talking and laughing the entire time. Just because you’re not happy together doesn’t mean you have to be unhappy apart too. Thanks for being the best example of love. It might not be typical....but it sure is impactful.

I dont have words to describe what this act of kindness meant to my boys. Jordan and Jaxson love the trash truck. Every week they wait for him on the doorstep, and when he rolls up they wave at each other, he honks the horn to them and drives off. Well today we weren’t home when he came and Jordan found a little surprise waiting for him from one of his superheroes, his very own trash truck. The fact that he took the time to do something sweet for my boys, is something I’ll never forget. Let’s remember to show our appreciation for the people God has placed in our life and that a small act of kindness can go a long way💕

I just got pulled over because my head light was out. I told Officer Adrian McKinney that I had the replacement bulb in my car for it, but couldn't find anyone to get it out. He asked me to get it and show him, then asked me to pop my hood. He fought with the headlight for at least 15-20 minutes but he was handier than a pocket on a shirt and fixed it for me! It was hot, muggy and dark. He also ended up with burned fingers trying to help me out. He didn't have to change it for me. He could have written me a ticket. But he took an oath to protect and serve, and he did just that tonight. Thank you Officer McKinney!

My neighbor is 96 years old and lives on the 3rd floor. This is his garden. When we moved in, he offered a plot to me and said I was free to water and take as I wanted. His caretaker said coming down was hard for him, so we planted sunflowers in hopes he could see them. Well, one finally bloomed!!! I called him up and told him to look outside. The joy he had was explosive! 🥰

I always think my dogs are probably annoying to all my neighbors and we try to be considerate as possible...this one car stops in front of our house every single day and honks to call the dogs outside into the front yard. Today I went over to introduce myself and they had their paralyzed senior dachshund in the front seat. They told me that this is the highlight of his day to take a ride around the block and come see my dogs. He was sitting on his daddy’s lap so happy and barking back at them...made my day ❤️

As I was sitting eating my double cheeseburger at Wendy's, I glanced over at this older couple, and thought 'That's sweet' And continued with my meal. But when I looked again, in between bites, I saw this gentleman feeding his wife. My whole life I've yearned for a love that strong. The gentleman got up from his seat to throw his food away and I couldn't resist asking how long he and his wife had been married. He looked at me and asked me to guess his age but not to guess too low. After a few guesses he told me he was 96 and his wife is 93 who is suffering from Alzheimer's. This is their date night. He also told me that if they make it till June, they will be celebrating 75 years of marriage!
Getting all the way to the end of the line with the person you started out with is one of the most glorious things on the face of this earth. Could a couple be more blessed than to have that happen? To share a deep love and bond that only grows as we age, that is a beautiful thing.

On my flight back to Georgia I saw this man, who was a stranger to this woman, offer to help her because she was pregnant and alone on the flight and her son was upset and fussy. He did not complain, he just told her that he was a DAD, and wanted to help her so she could rest. This MAN walked the aisle most of the flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta comforting this woman's son as if he was his own...I was in tears....because it showed me today that there are still GOOD people out there in a world full of turmoil. Big UPS to this DAD and all the DADS out there...you are the real MVPS!

$208
A guy came through our drive thru today asking for a $208 gift card. Six months ago his wife passed away. She would come to Dunkin every morning and order a coffee. The guy said he wanted to do something in remembrance of her. He said that within 6 months she would have spent $208 on her coffee. He tells us he wants to use that gift card to pay for every car that comes after him until the gift card runs out. He parked in our lot with his son and watched everyone who got their free stuff. We were all amazed and touched at such a wonderful gesture. My heart goes out to him and his family for the loss of his wife. It’s people like him who make the world a better place. 💕
