3rd Day of Giving:
Today I wanted to give to a co-worker of mine at the nursing home where I work on the weekends. Sandra lost her daughter, Tasha, two years ago due to pneumonia. She was 31 and special needs.
The first thing Sandra said to me is "no one ever says her name". So today, for Tasha, say her name. Say a prayer for her family. Like so many other grieving families, no one calls. No one checks in on us.
Don't assume we are ok. We buried our fu***ng kids. Call us/text us. It only takes a second. You don't have to understand the pain to be there for your friends/family.
My best friend, she always checks in on me. I love you Patty Hartley ❤️ Friends and strangers send me messages that mean so much that they took the time to read about Colton or watch his video and tell me how they always think of him.
So today, if you know someone that lost a child no matter how long ago...reach out to them and say their child's name ❤️
