My son saved 120$ in a year, here’s what he decided to do with it:

Saturday morning, my son walked into my room and said he wanted to use his money to help the homeless.  I asked him what he had in mind, and he said he wanted to make them lunches. I have to be honest, I almost tried to talk him into just holding on to his money and having mom and dad pay for it, but the light in his eyes told me to just roll with it.

You would be surprised with how many people in your life could be going through depression at this very moment.  People hide it like a paper bag over their heads out of fear of being judged, made fun of, seen as weak, or just not taken seriously.  Depression should not be taken lightly, it holds us down from our purpose and potential in life.  Those who tell you that it doesn’t exist have never experienced depression in their life, therefore not understanding the symptoms and how it’s something that cannot be fixed in a day!  So if you think you are depressed or if you think you know someone else who is, please talk to a friend, a family member, or anyone else in your life that you trust - never overlook the possibility of seeing a doctor for more professional help!!  Your feelings are real, your feelings are shared upon millions.  Don’t hide it, talk to someone about it.  With the right help, you can rediscover your confidence and begin life anew with our undying love and support! We are right here!!

Bart became a member of my family over 14 years ago, he’ll be 15 this summer. Anyone who shares a special bond with an animal friend knows that they become so much more than a pet. They are loved like children, their unconditional love is priceless.

Very recently we started noticing a couple things that were concerning. We took him into his vet yesterday for testing. The vet told us that Bart has an enlarged heart, which means he most likely has heart disease. He has to do a few more tests tomorrow as well as an ultra sound, which will be able to determine how far along the heart disease is and what we need to do for treatment.

The vet called us this morning with results from his tests. Bart has stage 5 kidney failure.

Bart needs treatment immediately. The vet said that treatment can prolong his life for a few more years and there’s no need to euthanize him because this can help him continue to live a healthy, happy life. A huge concern of ours was Bart’s comfort, but the vet assured us that he’s in no pain. He has to go in tomorrow morning and they’ll keep him for 3-5 days to finish/continue testing and re-hydrate him.

I’ve started a GoFundMe account for his medical expenses. Any help is greatly appreciated. Even if you can’t afford to donate money, reposting is also extremely helpful and very much appreciated. Bart is like a child in our family. My sister and I have shared over half of our lives with him and anyone who knows us, knows that he’s our baby.

So I was explaining my gender-fluidity to my grandmother

Me: So sometimes I'm a boy, but sometimes I'm a girl.
Grandma: I have enough idiot granddaughters already
Me:
Grandma:
Me:
Grandma: But I also have enough idiot grandsons, so having an idiot who isn't really either one is kind of refreshing.
*then later*
My mom: Alex, can you come pick up these LEGOs?
Me: Yeah... *doesn't move at all*
Grandma: Katie, go pick up the LEGOs
Me: Yeah, alright *goes to pick up LEGOs*
Grandma: See, you addressed the boy, but I addressed the girl. Boys are lazy, girls get crap done.

There are too many beautiful things in this life that we take for granted. Like the first snow of winter, or endless summer days. And long after they are over we spend too much time thinking back, wondering why we let them slip through our fingertips, and why we didn’t savor every moment while it was ours. That’s how I think about you somedays too. And how time sped by too fast for us, and it left us grown-up. How we should’ve spent every moment loving each other, and not wasted a single second fighting. Now we are just two more lonely people, who went too fast and fell too hard. And we’ll spend the rest of our lives wondering what would’ve happened if we slowed down and saw what we were missing.
