Some weeks ago I was in the lineup at the cash at Walmart. A young man stood behind me holding a lot of clothes. I couldn't resist asking if it was someone's birthday. He said no, in fact he was trying to buy some clothes for his wife. She was expecting their second child very soon and had nothing to wear, nothing fit and she was in no condition to shop for herself at the moment. He said in frustration that it was so difficult doing this kind of shopping and he was hoping some of the clothes would fit. He had no idea what she would like. I told him that kids grow up so fast and he should enjoy these moments. He agreed, already seeing how much the first child had grown in so little time. I wished him all the best before I had to move on.

Lovely flowers. I hope that poor woman got at least some clothes that fitted her! Hugs, Valerie
I love these flowers dear Christine !
they are beautiful!
I smiled over the situation of young man ,it happens to new parents .
hope he done successful shopping for his wife and baby
Always interesting to speak with people around. Hope his wife likes what he has purchased.
I hope those clothes fit too. I don't have any kids of my own but I have more than enough nieces and nephews to know they grow quickly. I'll just buy enough clothes to last them their first two years before they're born. That should do.
ahh hope the clothes fit too.
the flowers look beautiful !
So true - life goes by too quickly.
In that situation, I'd just let her pick something online and have it shipped
I do hope he managed to pick up something that fits her!
i love your photo - ...a kind word from a stranger i think sometimes does wonders for others. And kids do grow up so fast - my own and now my grandkids - when does it stop, lol. Well I guess I wouldn't want it to.
How touching that he was trying to help her in this way.
What pretty flowers! I hope he found some things that fit her.
hope they fit her, thats why i shop a lot online, if it doesnt fit i can send it back :p
I think that's so sweet of him to find something nice for her to wear. I'd love to have seen her face though when he showed her what he chose!
haha I know what you mean.
What a kind and thoughtful husband he was!
I do hope his wife liked what he bought!
All the best Jan
What a sweet person he is :D)
