In reading your story about pursuing your application, it literally made me cry because as one of your mentees & from our Lovely Group; I could not even imagine the two years without you showing up and us for each other during those times as we made such beautiful progress together!!

The mysteries of life become better and better as we walk this journey with each other. Thank you for your courage, for showing up and yes, I would have loved to have heard more of this during our two years, although I was aware of it- I didn’t really realize the impact your courage would end up impacting my life. You & Blue are beautiful souls and I am very grateful we met, and I just know you would say the same because you have a wonderful heart ❤️

It seems Blue is really, really trying as hard as he can to be your hero 💕

Much love & respect to you and your loved ones.

Always,

Laurie Hunsaker

I understand the soldiers impatience in the check out line. We are always in a hurry to be somewhere else. Since retiring, I am a kinder and more patient person. I just be in the moment and wait my turn. I hope others don’t wait to retire to understand this. Enjoy the interactions with others. My hubby and I just had such a moment. We were at a stoplight in Kokomo. There was a car in the lane next to us. Someone around us had their bass turned way up. It is a sound we don’t enjoy! I looked over at the lady in the SUV next to us, we locked eyes, and she Smiled, Raised her arms and mouthed It Isn’t Me! We both laughed. That was a moment that my husband and I will cherish. Connecting with a stranger in that moment helped with the irritation of the bass. The light changed and we all went in our own directions.

Jackie- thank you so much for your comment! We love how you locked eyes with the stranger next to you...and how you chose to connect and laugh in that moment. It's those simple moments that can be so meaningful...Also...we cannot imagine you being anything but "kind".
