I went to go register my daughter for school the other day and as I sat there waiting a middle aged rude lady called me over. For a minute there I felt like I was at at the DMV. Of course my guard immediately went up and as I walked over I braced myself for this bitchy lady who could potentially ruin my day. I sat down and we went through the motions, I gave her the necessary paperwork and so on. I began to look around her office and noticed it was plastered with pictures of this one young man. Pictures from when he was a baby, in little league, at prom, graduation, and the last one I noticed was him in armed forces fatigues. I thought to myself “wow this lady is kind of obssessed with her son”. Until I finally got to see one that said “Rest In Peace Sgt. Jonathan Williams”. Once I saw that my heart immediately broke and my eyes began to water. At this point all of it began to make sense and I didn’t look at her as the bitchy registrant lady anymore, I saw her as a mother in lots of pain. The worse part was that he had only passed away about 3 months prior. He seemed like a really great kid with such a great future ahead of him. Then I began to look at her as she typed and stared at the screen and I could just see the pain and frustration in her eyes. I imagined what it would be like if I lost my baby and it hurt my heart just thinking about it. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone not even my worst enemy. I guess what I learned from all of this was to not judge someone right away. Everyone has their days where they’d rather be under a rock hating human kind. Everyone has their story and nobody but then knows what they’re going through. It also made all this war stuff so real to me. I sat in front of a mother for about 20 minutes who lost her son over complete nonsence. We have men and women out there risking their lives on a daily basis over bs and it’s so sad. I hope that one day soon this will all be over. Not likely but a girl can hope.
