Good Guys and Bad Guys

Week 34.

Mother and I have this thing where we keep track of good and bad guy days. She read it in some book I think. Today the good guys are winning. We heard from three of her most geographically far away friends, all whom she has not seen in years and they all said really nice things. Also, a stranger on the train bought us Welch's gummy snacks in strawberry flavor (my favorite). Some dude was selling them for charity and of course my mother had no cash, but that did not keep her from pointing out that those gummies are her favorite snack. A minute later the guy came back and handed my mom the gummies. She insisted that she didn't have the cash to pay for them so she couldn't take them and at that moment the guy said "no problem, someone already paid for you". I thought that was really nice. I wonder if she would have gotten those had she not been so obviously pregnant with me... In any case , it was a super nice gesture and it eases my fears about coming out the womb and into the world. News on tv sounds awful, but I guess not all human beings are like that. There's always the good guys, who on certain days, win. I'd like to be one of them.
