Truly, an interesting story! I’ve seen this several time and I am always reminded to be compassionate.
Life is tough, literally, but when we can open our minds and hearts to hearing someone else’s story, we can learn a lot about humanity and how to communicate honesty and love with each other.
That’s a great start (to healing, in my opinion)!! To feel and show someone that they matter, and you care about their comfortability and happiness in life just because you believe everyone deserves respect and fairness; it’s an inspiration to NEVER GIVE UP, FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, AND STAY FAITHFUL!!!
Much love,
Jessie
