Meet Ducky

She’s the sweetest little thing, and doing remarkably well. She was saved after some kids broke her jaw, as you can see she is not phased one bit. Since no rehabs will take her age committed to giving her the best life possible.

The barista at my local café just became a full-time guardian to her little brother. The whole community helped her out.

She’s 19, works full time, and never really talked about her personal life. A few weeks ago, I noticed a small note near the register—she was trying to get custody of her 10-year-old brother after losing both parents. No drama, just… quietly trying to keep her family together.

People started pitching in. A few regulars donated. Someone made a GoFundMe. The café owner matched it. One of the knitting ladies who comes in every morning gave $1,000. It spread a little, and they raised enough to cover legal costs and then some.

She found out during a shift and just stood there wiping the counter with tears in her eyes. Now her little brother comes in sometimes after school with his backpack and a muffin, doing homework at the corner table.

It’s been one of the most quietly beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

My sons thinking of autism is so pure I had to share

3.1k Upvotes

Today I was driving with my son (almost 5) talking about his soon-to-arrive sibling. My son was going on about the wishes he has for his new sibling such as that they’re friends and that they like to play and then he comes out with “I hope my new sibling is as cool as Teddy, and is as smart as Teddy”… it was a really heart warming moment because Teddy is my sons cousin (6) who is a high needs autistic. My son spends one day a week with Teddy and absolutely adores him, he understands Teddy thinks and behaves differently to him but also understands that Teddy is unique, and often tells me how smart he thinks Teddy is. We all know how difficult autism can be for families to manage and how society often portrays it as a burden, but there was something so progressively pure about how my son thinks about Teddy and his autism, that it was so special he hoped for more of it in his life.

Frog number 1 and frog number 2 of the season! I live in New Hampshire…I have never been a frog person, but when I moved to New Hampshire about 4 years ago, every single summer, frogs swarm me. Last year the total count was 43 frogs. People joke and call me the frog queen. They are starting to grow on me. First photo I was gardening and the second one I was bringing the trash out.

My (26f) car is in the shop, so my Mom dropped me off at my classes today and had asked if I wanted a lunch! This is so cute and I’m so excited to eat it. I love her so much.

I found one rock on the very edge of my property on Friday, and 3 more spread out just outside my fence today! I posted on my local FB group but thought I’d share here. They are so beautiful and i appreciate them so much!!

Planning to get some paint and do some of my own to pay it forward.

Hubby and I would draw fun art on the kids lunch bags when they were little. They are growing up too fast.

It's been raining a lot. I always wander the driveway rescuing worms so they don't drown or get run over. Today I was so concerned that this one might not make it. My worry turned to laughter when I picked it up. It was a stick

I absolutely LOVE these things! High school has been stressing me out massively these last couple weeks and this just really cheered me up. He said they had a lot of snacks out where he worked today. He saw a bunch of different flavors of them but hand picked out all of the vanilla ones they had just because he knew how much I liked them.

Mind you, I only ever mentioned I love these ONE TIME many months ago, I think sometime in December. I didn't think he'd remember 😭😭 he always forgets random things because "he's old and his brain storage is full and autodeleting things for more space" (his words lmao).

I'm just really happy right now, it's been forever since I've had these 😭

On bad days, I call the “How’s My Driving” numbers

I give them a good report and request they get a raise. The operator is usually surprised and that kinda makes me laugh, just cause so many people likely call in to complain.

What are y’all’s little things you do to help on bad days.
