It started with a five dollar bill being handed through the passenger car window to a weathered mom from a completely random stranger. The car had been parked in the drop off lane at the front entrance of the children's hospital. Her husband had ran the stroller in the shape of a blue racing car back up to the seventh floor where they had just stayed for the last 7 days. The worry was building in the chest of the his wife while she sat anxiously in the car, every thirty seconds looking over her shoulder to make sure that her son was okay in the back seat. Strangers driving around and walking in and out of the hospital's main entrance. Each one passing caused more and more worry in her chest. The emotions were rising in her chest and as she was just getting ready to switch seats to the drivers side so that she could move out of the way for someone else's emergency, she heard a tapping on the window. She was caught off guard, wrapped up in her winding thoughts that were suffocating her. As she rolled down the window for just a brief moment, the kindest hand slightly reached in and handed the bill to the exhausted passenger. "I don't know why, but I felt compelled to buy you a cup of coffee and tell you that it will be okay" the stranger said in the sweetest voice that sounded more like raindrops in a meditation room than actual words. The passenger was so afriad that she was causing a disturbance by her vehicle being parked in the lane waiting for her husband, that the only thing her tired voice could muster back was, "I'm sorry that I am in your way, I am waiting for my husband to return." The stranger assured her that she was not in the way. As quickly as the tapping appeared, the sweet voice returned back to her own vehicle. No names or stories were ever exchanged.

Relationships: How to recover from toxic relationships and the 15 signs that you are going through trauma Even though many people feel down or upset when a relationship ends, there is a big difference between experiencing post-traumatic relationship syndrome (PTRS) and taking a moment to reflect or even crying for a few days. If you come out of a relationship with a lot of baggage, hangups, or symptoms that look like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it's likely that you were in a toxic relationship or that you had an emotionally or physically abusive partner, and you're suffering as a result.

HOW DOES THE PERFECT DAY LOOK LIKE FOR YOU? So, I asked my husband this question. His response, like most times, was as simplistic as it could be. His answer, "I would wake up". There was nothing else to discuss. He isn't a man who uses a lot of words. Well- I take that back. He is very opinionated on matters that are important to him. He has a lot of opinions on health & fitness, politics, current events, weather reports,and....lawn care. I can tell you a few things, 1. sticks are my nemesis 2. if I am ever asked to pull a weed- you will be cussed out. I am just stating facts and truth surrounding my life. If you enjoy outside lawn maintenance, I will give you my address and you and my husband can pick up the sticks and chop down trees to your hearts content. There is over 5 acres, knock yourself out. Well, seriously do not take that literally, the 'knocking yourself out' part. You know what I meant. And if you don't....grow up *in the nicest way that can possibly be said*.

One of my favorite movies of all time is Stephen King's "The Green Mile". It tells of the great, wonderful gift of second sight and tortured supernatural abilities of a kindhearted, simple and loving man, who though convicted of murder (of which he was innocent, but refused to defend himself against), became loved and cherished by everyone. Here was a great giant of a man, more than six feet tall and maybe over two hundred pounds in weight, but inside him beat the heart of an innocent and gentle child.
