My coworkers and I were getting coffee this morning and the guy, who is my age and has grown up kids did a great thing. Our other coworker was saying that she had a high maintainance son(6) who needs constant connection. In his wisdom, the guy says, “You know, kids like that usually develop into people who care more about other people and are less materialistic”. It was a great thing to say. He had such wisdom. The mom coworker said, “you totally made my day”. I’m so glad I overheard it.
The nice thing about aging is that we actually know the right answers sometimes. We finally know how to say the right thing in the situation. We can comfort others. Life is full of drama and truths that you learn from. You survive stuff and its good.
