I was just talking to a friend about how strange it is to walk around in the world looking normal and functioning, while carrying grief so heavy it sometimes makes it hard to breathe.
Hi Jennifer, I’m not sure if you recognize me, but I’m the produce manager at Harvest Health
Foods and I always loved chatting with you and Brady and petting your dog when you came to shop. I was shocked and so saddened to hear of Brady’s passing and I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling now. I have been thinking of you a lot lately and hoping I have a chance to talk with you at the store again soon. I wanted to reach out and tell you that I am thinking of you and your family, especially now during the holidays. You are one of my “special customers,” a select group or regular customers that I think are especially cool :) And even though I don’t see you super regularly at the store, when I do I always enjoy chatting. I had always noticed how you always seem so cheerful and relaxed, and seemed to love Brady and your daughters so much. It struck me how fun it would be to be part of a family like that. I can tell you are the most amazing mother and I am sending you all the peace and love that I can right now.
Hi Jessie, of course I recognize you and you are so thoughtful and kind to track me down. We always loved chatting with you too! Thank you for seeing Brady for who he was and for reaching out. You are lovely. I will stop in to see you soon. ❤️

I only found you here this morning. I don't really have adequate words beyond "thank you." Just stunning.
I will say it until I’m blue and breathless—you are remarkable.
Thanks for sharing, Jennifer. Tears and prayers....

I found this so incredibly moving. Every. Single. Word. Sending love to you, dear.
Thank you Jen, for your honesty. Well said
