Pregnant with our first child, I felt my baby’s kicks grow stronger while watching our beloved feline’s heart slowly failed.
You know what we need on Facebook? I say a “Sympathy” button– you know that conundrum when a friend shares something on their Facebook feed and people feel weird liking it because its not “good” news? Is it “right” to “like” that your buddy’s kid is sick or that a co-worker just had surgery?… You want to show you are supporting them, but is “liking” it callous?
Well, I am sharing this amazing piece because my uber talented author and life-long friend Courtney Maum wrote it and it is a stunning and very moving piece. So I think for now, its OK to “like” things even if they are sad enjoy the read, its worth every word.
