L has a little friend who lives a few houses down and walks with us to school every morning.
We had never seen her before the summer. After walking with Velvet and her uncle every day to school we heard her story ... a very sad one which I don't need to repeat online.
All there is to know that this little girl and her older brother and sister are now living with their aunt and uncle after they had a very unfortunate, sad, sad, awful start of their lives with their "parents".
Everything bad that could happen to a child did happen to these kids ... everything!
Anyhow, they now have a normal life and are healing every day a little more. Their uncle and aunt became guardians of three young kids over night and are now trying to make up for what was lost before.
Velvet told L this morning that her stroller had broken and they could not fix it again. She said "I don't have one anymore."
When L came home we were chatting about how Velvet had no stroller and we have FOUR!
After applying our new learned basic elementary addition and subtraction skills we found out that we have more than we need and Velvet had none. The Ls made the decision to share and give one of their strollers to their little friend.
Now came the hard part ... which one to part with???!!! Remember this post? The Ls decided that this was the ONE. With a brand new cover this one was perfect to hand over to a new, happy owner.
The Ls walked down the street and gave the stroller to a very excited and bouncy Velvet.
Deed #5 ... WELL done!!!
