Nurse Lioness

Well, it’s official, I have finally found rock bottom.

I was flying Southwest from Dallas to New York. Three rows ahead of me, there was a young soldier in uniform. He looked barely 18. He was staring straight ahead, gripping the armrests. He looked nervous. When the drink cart came around, the flight attendant asked him what he wanted. 'Coke, please,' he said. 'Heading home?' she asked kindly. 'No, ma'am,' he said. 'Deploying. First time.' The whole row went quiet. The flight attendant didn't say a word. she handed him his Coke. Then, she got on the PA system. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest in Row 8 today. Private Miller is on his first deployment to serve our country. Since I can't buy him a drink, I’m going to ask a favor. If you want to write him a note of encouragement, pass it forward.' I grabbed a napkin. I wrote: 'You got this. Stay safe. - A dad from Row 12.' I watched as napkins traveled up the aisle. Napkins, receipts, pages torn from books. By the time we landed, the soldier had a pile of paper on his tray table three inches high. He stood up to get his bag, and he was wiping his eyes. He carefully packed every single scrap of paper into his rucksack. 'Thank you,' he told the flight attendant. 'No,' she said. 'Thank you.' We all walked off that plane a little quieter, reminded that freedom is just a word until you meet the kid who is defending it. Credit: Margie Lee

@MrPitbull07 Love, love, love this! God bless each and every one of our troops. ♥️🙏🏼🇺🇸

🇺🇸One group defends the country while the other demoralizes it.🇺🇸

Ya'll pls stay aware at all times!! One earbud out, eyes up, and if someone grabs you, fight like hell! Scream, strike, do whatever it takes to stay free. The world can be scary, but we can protect ourselves better. Huge respect to Tom DeBlass for the reminder. Stay safe out there, lovies! 🔥👑

If you remember this you're old as dirt 😂🤣😂

@bridgetmoynahan Very true.

@trish_flo Thanks to the Nair commercials, I was ruined… shorts and Candies were the thing. 😁

@CardioFixer Candies were my fave.

I owned several of those as a teen, you could hear me walking with those wooden clank clanks. 🤭

I just can't stop watching this! 😭😅

@realAnn_29 😂😂

@trish_flo I had a lot as well, especially the slides, I had them in several colors. 🤭

@CardioFixer I had 6 pairs ar least.

Armadillo. My father told my mother it was wild hog until half way through dinner. I thought she was gonna kill him right there at family dinner😂.

@dust_hustle Calf fries. I was told they were “catfish nuggets,” and almost threw up when I tasted them. I thought I was eating some really bad fish at first, and was seriously sick when I found out what it really was. 🤢
