Devon Linden takes her two children to swim practice every week, but this special day was more difficult than most. Both kids were having meltdowns(精神崩溃).

“To be honest, I was then really near tears just as a mom. I was trying to keep it together, and cheer my kids up,” Linden said. That’s when a nice stranger appeared, handed her a note of encouragement, and told her that she’s got this.

“When she saw me having a hard time, she didn’t pass judgement(评判) on me, my kids, my parenting, anything that was happening. She just chose to encourage me,” Linden said. The note read: “Your life and purpose are huge! Life is so important. Every day is a gift, so make it count. Enjoy!” Linden didn’t unfolded(展开) the note until she got in her car. And she found a surprise: $100! Linden said she broke down in tears.

“I want to be like her. I can try to be great in the best way,” Linden said. And she has some words for the woman who encouraged her. “Really thank you for seeing me in a hard time and giving me what I needed in that time. It made me feel like I can spend my day being a good mom and person,” Linden said.
