This week has been completely strange for me.... I have came acrost a lot of struggles this week with grades, family, and friends. Today I met a woman that had a strange issue going on.. She was at QFC in north bend and was falling asleep while drinking her coffee, and eating her chicken. Her attire consisted of a very worn out jacket, ripped up jeans, and no teeth, Her hair was a mess. She must have been around 40. She had a cart next to her that had her son in it, passed out sleeping. Looking at this little boy that i later found out was only 4, I was worried that wasnt even breathing. Not a sound, or movement. I got really scared for this little boy that, I stayed at QFC to watch and make sure that this little boy was going to be okay, his mother would open her eyes and then pass out again. I asked her if she was okay, as well as her son. She told me that she hadent sleept in days because her son had been " sick" and she could ( which I highly doubt). She went on for some reason to tell me that she had a "surgary" that removed her teeth. Her son finally got up after me being there for 30 minuets, only to climb out of the cart and move to a table to pass out again. I was done after waiting for an hour to make sure this little boy was okay, so i asked him if he was okay.. He gave me this unregistering look that is still burning in my mind and i can not get it out. Not a word he gave me. his eyes just rolled back into his head and fell back into a deep sleep... There wasnt a thing i could do for this poor child, with an obviously high out her mind mother. This was something that changed my perspective on everyday. I am so COMPLETETLY thankful for an amazing set of parents that i have and just to be alive and healthy is AMAZING!!!. god bless and take care.
