Day #1849

January 23, 2019 

We just found out our High School breakfast spot is closing. This morning the owner told us it was a decision that was tough to make, but necessary. When the youth heard the news, one had an insight that touched my heart. The observation was something like: this must be really hard to still be here, knowing you are closing. 

What a compassionate understanding of the plight of such a kind couple! Yes, I said, having been in a similar situation, it is hard. Making the decision is excruciating, but working until the end is even harder. Taking on other people’s sadness, trying to keep smiling and serving, and grieving over unrealized dreams is beyond hard. I’m so proud of this teen for recognizing this. Amazing, isn’t it!?

Blessings.
