Thank you H. This was a tough one. I’ve always been a softie, but this Peapaw’n stuff is something else💞.

He will learn more from how you handle this than the action itself. That’s the lesson. One I learned. We’re human. We make mistakes. We learn. And we can be humble and honest in front of little ones. And teach them that.

I think you’re right, Joe. As a matter of fact, I’m banking on it. Because life seems to be one misstep after another — it’s the next step we take that really counts.

I thought of you when deciding whether or not to publish this. I appreciate you, Joe. 🙏 Happy Writing!🤠🤙

I’m so glad he is doing better and that you’ve forgiven yourself for a natural reaction. I’m also glad I was able to help. Thank you so very much for the shout out and kind promotion at the end. I’m just so happy that you’re sharing your light in this way, and so grateful we became friends. 💕

Thank you Jennifer, you really did have your superhero cape on that day! All of us, my entire family, were having a very difficult time with this. And your insight made all the difference in the world. Thanks again friend.🙏

And I am so thankful, Antonio. Because boy have I made my share of them over the years.

I truly appreciate your reading and sharing your thoughts. You're right. We all make mistakes. It's how we respond and grow from them that matters most.

Sometimes love is not shown in never making mistakes.

Sometimes it’s shown in how deeply we allow ourselves to learn from them.
