    I've never been a father, but if I ever did have a daughter, I would have wanted her to be just like this young lady...
    She's making her mother proud.

    My mom died unexpectedly/suddenly when I was a little girl, I found her. People treated me poorly because of it for the rest of my upbringing. I was ignored and cast aside- it truly delights me to see this little girl get what I never got, love and support.❤

      You were never alone. Unfortunately you didn’t know the right way to turn (I’m guessing since you make no mention of it). God in heaven, the great God of all creation says to His finest creation “I will never leave you or forsake you “ (Deut. 31:6)
      Over the past, roughly, 5 decades we have strayed further and further from the Lord. When difficulties strike our lives we don’t know where to turn for comfort, direction, someone to talk to and most importantly someone to take away the burden of our sins and grant us forgiveness. You can still do that. You only have to speak His name. Admit you are a sinner-we all are so don’t think I am pointing a finger-and ask Him to forgive you. He will forgive you and you will have someone in your heart who will “stick closer than a brother.” Prov. 18:24
      If you don’t have a bible you should get one. Read it every day starting in the book of John in the New Testament. The Old Testament told of how we needed a Savior and that God would provide the perfect sacrifice for our sins. The New Testament tells how he did it.
      The bible isn’t just for little old ladies sitting in their rocking chair. It’s for everyone. I hope you will seriously think about this because we never know when we’ll die. Once you die it’s too late. Last year 61 million people died. God bless you and I hope you will choose Him!

    A truly heartfelt moment that CBS kinda spoiled on RUclips with the title "Girl opens lemonade stand to pay for mom's headstone." Fortunately, I first saw it on the evening news, without out any forewarning. It hit me like an emotional ton of bricks. Wonderful little girl. Great neighbors.

    When I was 22, over a decade ago, 4 of my friends died in a 6 month time period. The tragedies taught me how expensive funerals can be and the financial burden families can suffer when a source of income is eliminated. Most of us don’t think about it but if you can afford it, life insurance is a good thing to have. Not just to cover funeral costs but to also give your family some financial help.
    I admire this girl’s stamina and the community willing to help her. But let this girl’s story also be a lesson to us all on how to prepare our families for the unexpected.
