I am a mama of 9 with 4 kids still at home. We also care for my mama who has dementia and also lives with us. It’s gotten so I can rarely leave home because she gets so agitated. It had been a VERY difficult day with my mom and my husband wanted to take me out for a break. My sweet kids stayed with Grandma so I could get away (we hesitate to do this because it’s a very hard task). We went to Everett Marina for a walk and a quick bite to eat and there on a tree was this BEAUTIFUL heart! It’s hanging in my kitchen to cheer my heart on hard days.
