the wings that you burn turn to ashes, my dear

I am so, so proud of my son right now. A car broke down at the edge of our driveway, and he came to get me immediately when I got out of the shower and told me someone needed help. He brought me out to the living room, pointed the car out to me, and asked if we could go help them. ♥

So of course I went out to check on the driver and see what was going on and if we could do anything. The woman only ran out of gas and already has someone on the way, so all is well, but I am so proud that Q wanted and knew to get help. Makes me feel like we’re doing something right as parents if my kid’s first instinct is to reach out and help a stranger if they sees they need it. His heart is just so, so big and I hope he never loses that.
