It’s the little things that are often so big

That voicemail from a stranger who took something you offered up on Craig’s List to say thank you and that they are praying for your family.

That note of pride – one short line – left on Facebook by a former high school teacher you respected.

That deep belly laughter shared with friends over sushi and wine, even though you know it’s the last in-person laughter you’ll have in a long while.

Opening up a box to find the words of encouragement you very much need at that moment.

Hearing “I love you so much, Mommy. One million billion to infinity and beyond!” one more time.

That call from your mom, asking how you’re doing, even though she knows the answer.

It’s the little things that add up. Thank you.

I’m so sorry for not letting you know where you can buy this bracelet. Several people have asked! I have another post all about it and that’s linked up, but you ladies recognize talent when you see it. It’s from the amazing Ellie and her Etsy shop is Shining Stones. Click the link and have fun shopping!
