So, my little daughter and I had been driving for hours to visit my mom. We were exhausted and just about to stop at the nearest gas station when suddenly, my daughter yells, “STOP, STOP!” Shocked, I slam the brakes and ask her what’s wrong. Layla points back frantically, “THERE!” I glance out the window and see a man in filthy clothes holding a “help” sign, limping towards us. My heart starts racing. He looks utterly worn out, his clothes are torn and grimy. Fear takes over, and I instinctively restart the engine. “Mom! What are you doing? He needs help!” Layla protests. “Someone else will help him…” I reply, my voice trembling. But Layla, with her big heart and stubborn streak, insists we pick him up on our way back from the gas station. When we finally bring him to the address he gave us, I’m almost speechless.👇

Sophia felt like her picture-perfect life burst like a bubble when her husband left her and their daughter Grace.

Although Grace pretended that everything was fine, she missed her dad dearly. All of a sudden, her vibrant personality was replaced with a subdued demeanor. She became quiet and rather sad, and there was not much Sophia could do about it because she was hurt herself and finding the strength to move on seemed to be harder that she has ever anticipated.

One day, Sophia suggested that she and Grace pay a visit to the girl’s grandmother who lived miles away. The trip was supposed to be a gateway from the reality both of them were forced to face.

Grace was hesitant and wasn’t willing to travel, but her mom insisted, and the girl finally agreed.

The trip was a long one, and the car was filled with awkward silence. As Grace kept her face stuck to the glass of the car’s door, she complained about the ride which seemed longer than usual.
