This email that I received today made my heart sing:
Hi Lori,
I just had to let you know how much [my husband] and I appreciated Ariana’s act of kindness at activity days yesterday!!
So when [my daughter] showed up for her 1st activity in the 10-11 yr old group yesterday, there were 4 cushion chairs that the other girls were sitting on. So [my daughter] sat on a hard one, and of course, felt left out (she didn’t say anything though). Ariana got up and switched with [my daughter]. It really meant a lot to [my daughter] as she was beyond nervous to be there in the first place. Thank you thank you!!! It just brings tears to my eyes.
Thanks again,
[A Grateful Mom]
Ariana, sometimes you wonder aloud why you have to go through tough times. I hope you recognize that these challenges are shaping your character and helping you evolve into a beautiful, empathetic individual who strives to make sure others don’t feel as lonely, left out, and friendless as you do sometimes.
Good job, my sweet girl.
