To be so emotional. This broke my heart.

Just noticed a lady carrying around a toy dolly. The lady I highly imagine had struggles as she was accompanied by a carer. She was holding the baby doll on her hip and stroking its head . She had a pram for the baby.

It absolutely broke my heart. I don’t mean to sound patronizing or anything . I had my second baby a year ago and I honestly am so emotional since. What I saw today made me feel so lucky to have two children and my heart broke seeing this lady with the doll.

Lately I am so emotional over everything . I feel the world is beautiful but so cruel. Anyone else ?

They often give babies to people with dementia too I believe/l. Not sure why but I think it must be comforting

Because their memories have all but gone, and what remains is from when they were young, with babies of their own. To love and care for the baby gives purpose and joy.

Why did that break your heart? You don't know her story. Don't assume shit.
