“I know that losing your job was hard,” my 8-year-old said to me this evening, “So you can borrow this.” He handed me his newest soft toy.
“It’ll help you feel better when you’re sad. Keep him for the week.”

He’s a loving person.
In the worst of times kids can be the best asset. Mine’s a bit older so she bought me a beer instead.
Ah bless your boy, what a kind heart. I am sure his good karma will work wonders and hope the job situation comes good soon for you Dan. All the best to you all.
I hope you are take time off to take care of yourself these days Dan!

What a wise, kind kiddo you are raising! No matter how old you are, sometimes giving a soft stuffed friend a squeeze can bring comfort and warmth.
Kids are such a blessing! Two days while my 7yo was riding his small bike that’s making high pitched squeaking noises as the wheels turn, he said “Dad, I really want a new bike, but only when you get a new job”.
Tbh, I just want to be there always while they grow up! 😭
Oh what a mini-sweetheart you have there. He’s right, keep that toy close. It’ll get better. Big hugs and good luck in the job search. We’ll find new homes, don’t you fret.
Remarkably, I got something in my eye just as I read your post Dan. What a sweet sentiment!
Children are so precious and empathetic. Sometimes, I wish more adults could be like this.
Kids have such a pure and beautiful way of showing empathy. It’s moments like this that remind us what really matters. Wishing you strength and new beginnings ahead Dan!!
How very fortunate you are, that’s a sweet sweet little man you’re raising!
