After She Suffered A Miscarriage, These Are The Amazing Texts Her Friend Sent To Help Support Her
Ashlee Gadd is a mom who started Coffee + Crumbs, a storytelling platform for other moms to contribute to.
Ashlee shared in a heartbreaking Instagram post that she was seven weeks pregnant with her fourth child when she sadly miscarried.
A few days ago, Ashlee shared another post on Instagram, which was a collection of pictures she titled, “friendship: a thread.”
The first photo confusingly shows a package of Charmin toilet paper sitting next to a box of Cheez-It snacks on her front porch.

The second photo that Ashlee shared after the photo of the items on her porch was a screenshot of a text from one of her friends which read, “Checking on you. Please choose from the following:”
“1.) I pick your kids up anytime after 3:30 today & show them a good time through dinner (which would be at Chick-fil-A, obvi, & would include takeout brought back for you).”
“2.) I send DoorDash dinner of your choice to you (This offer is valid any day this week. Also next week.)”
“3.) I have to go to Target today, I can pick up anything you need & drop it on your doorstep & not talk to you at all.”

In response, Ashlee texted her friend back, including a photo of a toilet paper roll in her bathroom. She mentioned that was the only roll she had left in her whole house, and asked her friend if she could pick up some toilet paper for her while at Target.

Ashlee’s friend said she would grab that, before asking if Ashlee would like anything else, to which Ashlee replied Cheez-It snacks would be great because that’s the only thing she felt like eating.
Ashlee’s friend then dropped everything off at her front door, and that’s the explanation behind the first photo from the Instagram thread.
What Ashlee’s friend did for her was such a kind gesture, and it’s a great example of how to really be there for someone in their time of need.
