25 Acts of Kindness

I initially had intended on getting to 26 acts this year for my birthday but I think I might end with this one. I had been thinking about this for a few weeks now, and as of last week I made the decision to make this a part of my birthday. Within just the last month, I have heard of four women/parents in my life that have unfortunately lost their babies. Each new story I heard was heartbreaking and even as an outsider difficult to process. I thought it would be best to honor these four beautiful souls that did not get enough time on this earth. Tori and I walked today to a beautiful serene park to release these four balloons for the families. I have not told any of the mothers/parents of this, and I will not disclose their names. One is a close friend, one is a classmate from high school, and two coworkers from my previous job. After we released the balloons I spent the next few minutes walking and crying. My heart is heavy for these families.

Dinner for the family! Holy cow so many people showed up. I made homemade chicken fettuccini with the works. It was so very great to have everyone here.

Went to lunch at Red Robin. I originally had planned on paying for someone's lunch who was eating alone. As we began to eat, a young family sat near us. I decided at that point it was better to help pay for their meal.

Staff treats for the staff at the group home! They returned the favor and bought me a very sweet birthday card.
