#Shoftek!

That made me choke up. A 9-year-old walking straight to Rylee for a hug, then sitting with Danielle, quietly holding her hand? That kind of compassion can’t be taught in a conversation. It’s learned by watching someone live it every day. She’s watched you show up for people your whole life, and today she did the same. ‘Flower’ fits her perfectly.
And I think you handled both kids exactly right. Letting Justin decide for himself was respecting that he grieves differently, and that’s okay. Bringing Alyssa, even though it went against your instincts, gave her the chance to understand in a way words couldn’t. It wasn’t an easy call, and you made it with love.
One gentle thought, only if it feels right: when things settle, she might need to hear that she doesn’t always have to be strong. It’s okay for her to cry, too, and she can fall apart with you. Kids who show that much strength sometimes carry more than they let on.
You should be so proud of her. And of yourself. That little girl’s heart came from somewhere 🤍

I wish there was something I could do for you right now but you know I am a bit restricted.
