My older brother missed my graduation.View quoted post on X
No call. No message. Nothing.
Everyone kept asking, “Where is he?” and I just kept smiling, as if it didn’t matter, but it did.
That night, I muted his contact.
Three days later, there was a knock on our door.
He stood there tired, unshaven, holding a small wrapped box.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I couldn’t leave the site. If I didn’t finish that job, they wouldn’t pay me and I needed the money for this.”
Inside the box was a simple wristwatch.
“I wanted you to have something that reminds you. Your time is just starting.”
I didn’t know whether to cry or feel guilty.
Sometimes, people don’t show up the way we expect them to.
But it doesn’t mean they didn’t care.
St. Patrick’s Day fun yesterday in small group was all about building Executive Functioning skills! We practiced packing book bags with the items we need - focusing on organization, planning, and prioritizing. We also explored the brain and how it supports EF! @drchonhesterView quoted post on X
