Once or twice a month, is our visit to Remke's for "Donut Day" Recent events have slowed that time before school, but with Payten's declaration of "Needing to get back on a donut schedule" I decided to take them there this morning. It can be a bit of an adventure taking 4 kids inside anywhere, especially with toy machines placed at the entrance to the building, but today was a bit more organized than most. Typically there is a particular lady at the counter (Known as donut Lady) who helps us but today was a man, who seemed not as interested in my children's questions about cake design. With our donuts and hand and soon our milks (pink milk unavailable), we made our way to the cash register. After paying for our items we noticed 3 receptacles wanting a donation. Katrina had earned 2 dollars picking up somethings and was quite excited to help one of those 3 places when an Idea popped into her mind.
Daddy do you think your friends need two dollars?
What friends cuddles (my name for her since she was 4 days old i make no apologies)
Your friends that got hurt by the tornado?
I try to give my children encouragement whenever I can and I was overwhelmed with the selflessness of her statement. I offered to give two dollars in place of hers, but she insisted it be her two dollars that was given. Every little bit matters, every moment matters, I would humbly ask that if you read this, find a way to make a difference for those who have lost everything. Every dollar counts if you are 6 or 106.
