I am so happy for her. She could use a financial gift.

@misstuxbrandi 3 года назад

Bless her! One of the hardest parts of this pandemic for me is being a single mom. I work 10pm to 6am just so I can come home and help my kids with their zoom classes and education (they have to sleep at their grandparents house) and then at 5pm I send them back to their grandparents to sleep and repeat. I'm so thankful for my parents to help us get us through these times and so thankful for understanding teachers like her.

@2TMarie 3 года назад

“It’s so hard not to hug you” so weird cause they both were obviously tested and didn’t have to wear masks but they can’t do it cause media doesn’t want to portray any non social distancing on tv. The world sucks!
