Life can be crazy. Life can be difficult. But despite all the horrible s**t we hear in the news everyday, despite that constant fear that any moment your own version of doomsday is going to engulf you and the people you live, the world is -- by nearly all metrics --

I’m sure this man just wanted to eat his meal in peace but Brekken had other plans. He was continuously crying and as I got up to take him to the car this man asked to get him. Brekken instantly stopped crying and sat and ate chips and salsa and had a conversation with him until he was ready to go. Brekken was completely content and told him bye like he had known him his whole life. It’s the small things! So, if you know him, please tell him again I said thank you. He didn’t have to do what he did but completely made Brekken’s whole day.
