@ToolPackinMama A lot also remember me because I was an asshole. 😉😈

@ToolPackinMama

I’d like to share a story about a guy who was kind to me.
I was severely depressed many years ago - bereavement, childhood trauma…
I traveled almost daily from the Hill Country to Austin & back for various appointments. I noticed the cutest bright aqua VW bug a time or two & figured we had somewhat similarly timed comings/goings.
The depression got worse & I became suicidal. I had resisted for years, but I was just finally done.

@ToolPackinMama
I headed back to where I lived in the country with resolve to finish this life & take my karma.

I came to that intersection where I had seen the VW & sat at the light weeping. I was irretrievably lost & sad to the utter depths of my being. I was just so done fighting. I looked up from wiping my nose and noticed the VW beside me.

@ToolPackinMama

The guy waved. It was like he could see me and he knew I felt really really bad. That wave from that stranger touched me deeply. The depression eventually lifted & has never been that bad since. I never saw the VW again but I’m still here because of him.
