My friend who I work with is the kindest person although a little scary at times π. She is a lioness with her 7 children that she and her husband have raised. One is a grandchild that she is raising like we do. She is the salt of the earth what you get is what you see no behind the back talk, just extremely upfront sometimes a little to much lol. But she is kind and will fight to the death for those she loves . So ... She has welcomed an ex girlfriend of her child into her house or should I say her daughter's house next door as she was homeless and living in her car. The relationship was not working ( not my place to say why ) . She literally bumped into her after not seeing her for a while so I ask you what would you do . Would you be as gracious and offer this young lady a place with the knowledge that it make cause issues in the family . Well she did and you know I am so proud of he,r it is something that we often are to uncomfortable to do .When our children separate with thier partners sometimes having been with them for years what are we expected to do well I think ..be kind . This young lady had her baby last week, blessed with a little man to love and cherish so so I thought I have a pram I was given that I wanted to give her, it was fine as it was but I wanted her to feel special . So made new covers . It's not much compared to what my friend and her family have done for this young lady but you know what .We need to try harder do more and realise that opening our doors to someone in need can be done . I hope that these two find a place of thier own to call home soon . But in the meantime I know my friend has her hand ready to hold out to this young lady .It has cost her this choice but it was the right one . Everyone needs a safe place. Kindness and love and occasionally a hand up . Justine you are one hell of a woman .
