It Will Be Ok

Three years ago, I watched my husband's grandma slowly pass away. Nine months later, after caring for my mother in law, she passed away. Six months later, I had a baby die in my arms and six months after that, my husband passed away. I was barely holding on emotionally, physically, and spiritually. But I did for my children, who were struggling with understanding all the death we have witnessed in three years. I was drowning and exhausted from trying to be strong for my children. I went to McDonald's because I had an extra 10 dollars. I don't know where that money came from since my budget was so tight. I got to the front of the line and learned that the person in front of me paid and left a message for me. The message was this: "You are stronger than you understand and you and your children will be ok." I did not recognize the vehicle in front of me. It was in that moment that I felt like I could actually breathe and the tightness in my chest lightened up. Wouldn't you know that the person behind me had a bill for just under 10 dollars! So I was able to do the same for them! I am still struggling, but we are going to be ok!
