My Most Important Post Ever

I’m going to say that I’m not even kidding when I say before you read this get tissues.

My husband’s company hired someone who was going to be working with my husband.

She worked out of another office location.

When my husband is going to be working with someone I always ask about those people.

I did my usual series of questions. “Where did she come from, do you like her, is she married, etc?”

I also usually ask if they have kids. I don’t know why. I’ll probably never meet these people or their kids.

The following is something I never will forget.

Me: So does she have kids?

Him: Yes, 3 kids all boys. Two are hers and one is her nephew.

Me: Oh, did something happen to the mom?

Him: You could say that.

He then directed me to THIS

Take a moment. I know. I know.

There are no words to express my complete shock that is this story.

This is the site set up for him. Heroes for Holden.org

There is no way I could do nothing. Not with the tears that fill up my eyes just writing this. Nothing is not right. Nothing is not who I am.

This extraordinary woman has stepped up as an Angel to help a child. A helpless child.

I can’t even imagine span of emotions she must feel on a daily basis.

The years of therapy, emotional and physical.

Exhausting.

The least I can do is use my platform (even if small) here to help.

This is right. It’s the right thing to do.

Won’t you help?
