The sky was wild last night

Was hopeful passing window friend today that the 7yo might say something comforting to her because he’d been talking about how her husband was in that rainbow yesterday but the second he sees her it is all 〇〇さんどこ?本当にもう会えないの?おやつはありますか?😖 So.

Ok but most parents don’t *want* to put their neurodivergent kids into environments to which they are not well suited. With the exception of a small percentage of the population for whom alternative schooling is accessible both geographically and financially, they *have* to. Can u write about that?

I wasn’t going to post what he drew for her, but y’all… 😭😭😭

The florist said white flowers, so I I brought them to her. We talked about how kind he was, how loved, how he drove my kids home from school on rainy days, how he would dye her hair for her in the sink because she couldn’t walk to the salon. I put my hand in the window, she grabbed it and we cried💔

Window Friend’s husband just died. I don’t know what to do.

Bestest Hat Ever

Carp dreams of life outside the pond because he clearly doesn’t know any better.

This guy has my Monday energy.
