• 

  MY PUPPY RAN UP TO A STRANGER—AND THAT’S HOW I MET MY HUSBAND

• 

  I SAW THIS SMALL GESTURE BETWEEN TWO STRANGERS—AND IT BROKE ME IN THE BEST WAY

• 

  MY SON CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL—AND THE FIRST THING HE DID STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS

• 

  I TOOK MY BABY TO A CONCERT—AND ONE STRANGER’S REACTION LEFT ME SHAKING

• 

  WE ALMOST LOST OUR DAUGHTER—UNTIL HER CLASSMATE WALKED IN AND DID THIS

• 

  I FED THREE GENERATIONS FROM MY KITCHEN—AND NOW THEY WON’T EVEN LET ME HOLD THE BABY

• 

  SHE ONCE CLUTCHED MY HAND WHEN SHE WAS SCARED—NOW SHE WON’T EVEN ANSWER WHEN I CALL FROM A HOSPITAL BED

• 

  I TAUGHT HIM HOW TO RIDE A BIKE, HOW TO THROW A BALL, HOW TO BE A MAN—AND HE LEFT ME TO DIE ALONE IN A NURSING HOME WITH NO VISIT, NO CALL, NO FKING GOODBYE

• 

  I WAS THERE WHEN HER MOTHER COULDN’T BE—AND NOW SHE WON’T EVEN SAY MY NAME IN FRONT OF HER FRIENDS

• 

  THEY CALLED ME “TOO OLD-SCHOOL” AND “JUDGMENTAL”—BECAUSE I DARED TO SAY I DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE IGNORED BY MY OWN GRANDKIDS

• 

  MY UNCLE ASKED FOR ONE LAST MEAL—BUT IT WAS WHAT HE SAID AFTER THAT I’LL NEVER FORGET

• 

  MY DAUGHTER WOKE UP FROM A COMA AFTER A BEE STING—BUT WHAT SHE SAID FIRST LEFT ME SHAKING
